-
- There is an application called GL Viewer which is available at some archive
- sites. I believe it's at umich. If you have access to archie, send mail to:
-
- archie@quiche.CS.McGill.CA
- Subject: <leave blank>
-
- prog glview
-
- In an hour or so you'll have a mail message from archie which lists the
- sites where the file is available.
-
- Note that GL Viewer will not open all .gl files. I've only had about a 50%
- success rate. The .GL format is from the PC world, and is similar in
- function to QuickTime on the Mac.
-
- Hope this helps.
