OpenGL SuperBible CD-ROM
========================
This file contains a description of the contents of the CD. Any last minute
changes will be included in this file as well.
Additional samples, bug fixes, and a Q&A page can be accessed from the
OpenGL SuperBible web page at http://www.jwp.bc.ca/rwright
There are eight subdirectories off the CD root directory. They are listed
below with a description of their contents.
\Book
This subdirectory contains all the samples that are covered in OpenGL
SuperBible. Each chapter has its own subdirectory, and each sample has yet
another subdirectory beneath that. There are also some other "supplementary"
examples here that may further demonstrate the material covered in the
chapters.
\Borland
Here are some special support files for users of Borland C++ 5.0.
\Borland\auxlib contains a special DLL version of the popular OpenGL AUX
library. Also included are all of the AUX samples from Chapters 2 & 3 complete
with Borland make files, and prebuilt .exes.
\Extras
Four samples that didn't really fall well within any particular chapter are
included here. One demonstrates two OpenGL child windows. This seems to be a
popular request in many OpenGL electronic forums. One is a relief map
that demonstrates geophysical modeling. This sample may not run on low-end
machines with less than 32MB of RAM. Scooch is an OpenGL MDI and the Unproj
directory contains an example using gluUnProject.
\MFC
This subdirectory contains a handful of sample programs taken from the
chapters and modified to work under MFC.
\OWL
Just like the \MFC directory, this contains sample programs that were modified
to work with OWL.
\OpenGL11
Version 1.1 of OpenGL was released as this book was being finalized. In
this subdirectory, you will find a summary (summary.txt) of the new functions
that were added with the 1.1 specificiation. There are also a few examples
that use the new 1.1 functionality.
\TGS\WebSpace
This directory contains the installation disks for the WebSpace 3D VRML
browser. You can install this directly from the CD by running the setup.exe
program in the \DISK1 subdirectory.
\Win95
This directory contains binary files of OpenGL version 1.1 DLLs for Windows
95. Copy the DLLs found here into your system directory, and Windows 95
supports all the features of OpenGL under Windows NT 4.0.
Installation notes
==================
Create and move into a directory on your hard drive that will contain the
copied files. Use the following command to copy the contents of the CD-ROM
to your hard drive:
xcopy d:\. /v /s
where /v tells xcopy to verify the files and /s tells xcopy to copy all the
contents of the subdirectories. If your CD drive is something other than D:,
substitute your system's CD drive letter for this example.
If you decide to use Windows' built-in file managers, please don't forget to
remove the read-only attribute of your copied files.
