- Not unless you have a third-party implementation of IRIS GL running on
- your Sun. (And even then it might not be possible; I don't know
- whether any of the third-party implementations support DGL.) For
- information on IRIS GL for Suns, contact Dupont Pixel Systems at
- 800-542-1484 or Nth Graphics at 512-832-1944 (npgl@nth.com).

- You're correct that there is not yet an OpenGL implementation available
- for Suns. However, the original poster is looking for an IRIS GL
- implementation.
-
- Nth Graphics is working on OpenGL for Suns. I would guess that other
- companies are doing so, as well.
