29 <li><b><font size=+2>What</font></b>
30 <p>
31 freeglut is a completely OpenSourced alternative to the OpenGL Utility
32 Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard
33 to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'.
34 Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications
35 because it is simple, universally available and highly portable.
36 <p>
37 GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage
38 windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and
39 also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions.
40 <p>
41 freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license.
42 <p>
43
44 <li><b><font size=+2>Why</font></b>
45 <p>
46 The original GLUT library seems to have been abandoned with the most
47 recent version (3.7) dating back to August 1998. It's license does
48 not allow anyone to distribute modified the library code. This would
49 be OK, if not for the fact that GLUT is getting old and really needs
50 improvement. Also, GLUT's license is incompatible with some software
51 distributions (eg Xfree86).
52 <p>
53
54 <li><b><font size=+2>Who</font></b>
55 <p>
56 freeglut was originally written by Pawel W. Olszta with contributions
57 from Andreas Umbach and Steve Baker. Steve is now the official
58 owner/maintainer of freeglut.
59 <p>
60
61 <li><b><font size=+2>When</font></b>
62 <p>
63 Pawel started freeglut development on December 1st, 1999.
64 The project is now a virtually 100% replacement for the original
65 GLUT with only a few departures (such as the abandonment of SGI-specific
66 features such as the Dials&Buttons box and Dynamic Video Resolution).

90 I believe this is enough for a short introduction.
91 If you are not tired of reading yet, check out the
92 <a href="freeglut.html">freeglut project log</a>. Here you will find the
93 yet-to-be-introduced new project <a href="structure.html">structure
94 description</a>. Finally, here you will find the latest
95 <a href="progress.html">work progress report</a>. Since freeglut is
96 a re-implementation of the original GLUT API, you can find API
97 documentation at <A HREF="http://www.opengl.org">http://www.opengl.org</A>.
