Ummmm.

Why was I thinking I had OpenGL? Doesnt that come with Windows?
I have related DLLs and such.

I am downloading the file right now like you said. Wish me
luck, I suppose.

Nope. That did not work on Borlands command line nor the
MingW32. I added the .h files and the .lib (Just to borland)
and the DLL files to windows/system

No luck. I get a lot of errors like this;

*** 26 errors in Compile ***

Are you #include-ing the gl\gl.h and gl\glu.h in your c files, or are you just #include-ing glut.h? It looks like you have to #include math.h as well for sin and cos.

Well, that must be at least part of it but why, I dont know.
This is a sample program I got from another site. If its not
including all of the headers, how the hell did the original
authors compile it? Just weird to me but thanks!

Try this: go to Nehe''s web site and go to lesson 1 and download the glut or linux source code, and try to compile it.

Now I would write more but my spacebar is stuck. (Seriously!)
