Re: [paragui-users] ParaGui and OpenGL

[Andre Groß]

Thx. for this information.

I spend about 2 days getting ParaGUI to run on my System and all for
nothing. :-(
It's not the right mailinglist, but does anybody now some kind of GUI which
can be 
used together with OpenGL ? 
I tried GLUI, but it's to limited. At the moment I'm looking at glow..
