yes you have. opengl 2.0 is an add on to 1.2

OpenGL 2.0 is just OpenGL 1.2 with more features essentially, code that worked in 1.2 should compile fine (and theoretically) work fine in OpenGL 2.0. To interact with OpenGL 1.2+ features however, on a Windows platform, you would need to deal with extensions, you will find a list of extensions on http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/

hope that helps

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."
oh,I see...
Thank you very much....
See the Forum FAQ for more about loading extensions BTW. There are also some free extension loading libraries which can assist in the process, which are listed in the resources section.
