glOrtho problem

I posted this in the beginners forum, but haven’t had any luck there. I’ll try here:

Microsoft’s opengl documentation is not that inspiring - you should really get the redbook, pref. paper editon so you can study even without a computer (ie in bed, when walking, etc). You can get an older version online: http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/specs.html

Okay, ignore this thread. I did some head scratching and realized that I’ve been asking for the wrong type of projection matrix… I’ve figured out what I need and am on my way.
