    Looks like mgl solve all opengl and directdraw problems...

    Greetings,
    some people say directdraw (2d) and opengl does in no cercumstances work toghether. Other people say it may work to directly render to a direct draw surface using opengl.
    Nobody knows on what it depends as it seems...

    However i've found a library called MGL that allows to directly render to a direct draw surface. (sounds too good to be true ) Here's a link to it: http://www.scitechsoft.com/dp_mgl.html

    Althought i hav'nt tested it yet, i thought i better let you know because there are a lot of people that mess around with direct draw and opengl...
    Hail to
    ...the fine folks at SGI.

    Hi !

    It is possible to render OpenGL output to DirectDraw, BUT it's a bit tricky and you might loose all hardware acceleration if you do it.
