Heh.

I dashed off to unna to find the NewtonGL package, but searching on
'newtongl' or 'opengl' didn't turn up anything. Did I dream it up?
Nobody else had chimed in to point you to it... I knew I installed it
once, long ago... Am I going -mad-?!? Hmmn.

Anyway, a poke at the Slashdot archives found me:

http://hometown.aol.com/NewtsPrism/NewtonGL/NewtonGL.html

Hasn't apparently been touched or upgraded in almost three years, but
there it is. I just reinstalled it and the little test app, but they
manage to hang up my 2100 solid when I try to run them. (*shrug) I
don't recall if, when I last installed it and played with it, it was on
my old 130 or my 2100. Looks like a 2x00 on his page, tho.

Maybe I ought pester the guy to put the source code up there; who
knows, we might have Quake III Arena for Newt someday....
