There's always exceptions to the rule, but I won't name any names. :)

The OpenGL patch is pretty awful.  Ideally, Papy would fix it, but they are
not going to, since as far as they are concerned, GPL is dead.

No.

Me too.  If one of the GPL-stars would like to organise a programmer and
some money, then...

I think Papy would *sell* a copy of the OpenGL code (under a non-disclosure
agreement) to a programmer who paid them enough.  He or she could then
improve the OpenGL.  The same probably applies to the whole game, but with
much more money...

The V3 "will" do 2D also, but unless I'm sorely mistaken you can add a PCI
V3 and use it in addition to your current AGP card.  The site that quoted
the sales success of the V3-2000 PCI (which escapes me at the moment) stated
just that as the reason.

The future of GPL is non-existent.  Sierra will never approve taking some
working hour time off other milking-money project to do whatever addition to
GPL.

The future of GPL is what we, the community, will do of it.

how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

You can do this, in theory, in Win98 if you either move your monitor
back and forth to the correct display when it switches or get two
montitors and just have two space hogs on your desk. Myself I would
love to get a new Sony Flat Screen as a second monitor. :-) Like I am
that rich! Actually I was thinking of one of those boxes that allows
two monitors, keyboards, mice, and run them to the ba***t and make a
simulation station. That way it can be setup and ready to go when ever
I am want to race. I might also be able to keep my back from hurting
while racing.

Of course they won't, since Sierra are a commercial organisation.  It's not
as if Microsoft would bug-fix (or hand out the source to) Word 6!

I suppose even if Papy/Sierra released the source to rastogl.dll it
wouldn't exactly help, since we would need to know how it fits into GPL,
and they probably won't release essential API docs.  Mmmnnn... perhaps if
they released all the rasteriser code, we could compare the 3dfx one...

Hopefully a beautifully-optimised D3D rasteriser.

A good start would be some devoted cracker breaking into their
systems and releasing the source on the net.
