- I've received some phone calls and other questions about when
- OpenGL documentation will be available. Here's an update.
-
- Addison-Wesley is publishing a 2 volume set, a Reference Manual
- and a Programmer's Guide.
-
- The Reference Manual is NOW rolling off the presses and should
- begin hitting bookstores in January, 1993. I have a copy of
- the book on my desk! The Reference Manual has an overview,
- the man pages, and a way informative poster of the OpenGL state
- machine. The cover of the Ref Manual is predominantly blue.
-
- The Programmer's Guide is still undergoing internal review. It
- has not yet gone to the printers, but we have first drafts of
- every one of the 13 chapters. We (the authors) are confident
- that the Programmer's Guide should be hitting bookstores this spring.
- The cover of this book will be predominantly red.
-
- Any more questions? Ask us! Thanks again for your patience and
- support.
