Now that I'm running GPL 1.1, can I safely delete the Glide 2.43 DLL that's in my GPL directory and let it use the latest installed version (2.46 I believe)? Also, what is this "Glide wrapper" that people are talking about? Is there any reason to use it if you are not using force feedback? -- Doug Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

I think it is a Glidem emulator for non 3dfx cards. I would expect that it wouldn't work very well. I don't think that Glide has anything to do with FF. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

I did some more checking and found that the "glide wrapper" is for use with Voodoo 3 cards AND/OR for being able to set options such as a lower refresh rate for the mirrors. The connection with FF is that using FF seems to lower the frame rate on some systems, and by using this wrapper along with reduced mirror refresh rate, you can get back some of your lost FPS. Reducing the mirror refresh might also improve the frame rate on anyone's PC that is having trouble maintaining 36FPS. -- Doug Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.
