+This is a port of the GL and GLU libraries to NeXT/Apple object
+orientated systems. As these systems have their own window handling
+systems we simply use the offscreen rendering capability of Mesa
+to generate bitmaps which may then be displayed by the application
+with a View as required. Example pieces of code may be found in the
+OpenStep directory.
+
+Sadly there are now a proliferation of different system that we need to
+support compilation for: The original NextStep system, The OpenStep
+system, the Rhapsody/Mac OS X system and also the windows implementations
+of the latter two systems. This version of the code has been compiled and
+tested under the following architectures:
+
+ NextStep 3.3
+ OpenStep 4.2
+ Rhapsody DR2
+ WebObjects for NT 3.5
+ WebObjects for NT 4.0
+
+All tests were done with Intel processors. Feedback on other systems would,
+however, be appreciated !
+
+On UNIX systems simply type "make openstep". Under Windows systems
+with WebObjects run the "win32-openstep.sh" script from within the Bourne
+shell provided with the development environment. In both cases this will
+build the libraries and place them into the "lib" directory. Some examples
+may be found in the OpenStep directory showing how to use the code in an
+actual application (MesaView) as well as some command line demos.
+
+The CC variable may be specified on the command line for doing such things
+as building FFAT libraries or using alternative compilers to the standard 'cc'
+e.g. make CC='cc -arch m68k -arch i386' openstep" will build the libraries
+with both intel and motorola architectures.
