1.2 is suported in win 2k. just ms wont update opengl32.dll

While I''m not saying you''re wrong, how is OpenGL 1.2 supported if the MCD doesn''t support it? I''m just curious

An MCD is a mini client driver, in this case opengl32.dll. Also, I think I figured out why they say that. The .lib file doesn''t, but the Win2K .dll does. So, we still have to use extensions for 1.2+, but we can be sure that all of 1.2''s standard features are supported in software mode.

Ok, im a bit confused.
Is OpenGL 1.2 a new set of libs and headers?
I had heard somewhere that in order to use 1.2
i need to use extensions. Is this true?
If so, where do i find these extensions?
I mean there have to be some new dlls and libs and stuff right?

You use wglGetProcAddress to get the extensions (if you''ve downloaded glext.h). Microsoft won''t give out an updated .lib file, so your program doesn''t know about the new functions ahead of time. Most other OS''s have updated files, so your program DOES know about the functions ahead of time.
