- Introduction
- ============
-
- SciTech MGL 3.1 is a high performance graphics library for the DOS and Windows
- environments, that supports fullscreen graphics in SuperVGA resolutions
- such as 400x300, 512x384, 640x480 etc. Although you don't need the SciTech
- MGL libraries to use Mesa for DOS or Windows, the implementation of Mesa
- on SciTech MGL is reasonably fast (and we hope to make it faster) and
- provides a simple and elegant solution to using Mesa in the DOS and Windows
- environments.
-
- The SciTech MGL graphics library is a commercial product, while Mesa is free
- software. The SciTech MGL library itself is available in evaluation form
- as described below, and this can be used to compile and build the MGL version
- of Mesa. The SciTech MGL specific bindings for Mesa are however contributed
- to the Mesa community and may be used in accordance with the regular Mesa
- license agreement. Hence to use the MGL version of Mesa you will need to
- obtai a copy of the MGL libraries.

- Getting the SciTech MGL 3.1
- ===========================
-
- The SciTech MGL 3.1 libraries can be obtained from the SciTech Software
- ftp site. The DOS libraries are available as:
-
- ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/mgld31.exe
-
- and the Windows libraries are available as:
-
- ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/mglw31.exe
-
- Note that the SciTech MGL libraries come with pre-compiled versions of the
- latest release of Mesa at the time of the SciTech MGL release, as well
- as complete source code ready to compile for the MGL versions of Mesa.
-
- Note that at the time of writing the MGL 3.1 libraries are currently
- in beta testing, but should be available by the time you read this. Also
- note that by the time you read this a new version of the MGL libraries
- may be available, in which case the above URL's will be slightly different
- for the later libraries.
