   The Rubix example uses the Cocoa interface to OpenGL, right?

   The last time I looked at CL-SDL, it was working, but all but 
unmaintained.  I've heard that
the situation has improved, though.  I haven't tried it with Openmcl.  
If you do, David, tell us
how it goes.

   The first few Nehe tutorials have been translated to CL-SDL, as well, 
and can be found in
the CL-SDL distro.  They're probably simple enough that it's just as 
easy to start from the C
versions, but I mention it in case it's useful to anybody.
