[vtkusers] OpenGL question

[Frank Gao]

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your reply! I am able to confirm that my graphics card is good
enough. However, since the gl.h coming with VC SDK is version 1.1, I am
guessing the system is only use 1.1. Are you aware of some newer version for
download?

Thanks,

Frank
