+ WindML Driver for Mesa 4.0
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Tornado 2 + WindML, Cumulative Patchs are recommended.
+
+I suppose you have a valid WindML installation. Double buffer hardware
+gives better performance than double buffer software so if you can
+compile your WindML driver with this option, just do it. I/O
+redirection is adviced in target server.
+
+
+Tested on
+---------
+
+During the development, my main target was a CoolMonster:
+- Video card: CT69000
+- CPU: PENTIUM 266MHz
+
+and my host a Windows NT + Tornado 2.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+1. Mesa sources must be in root directory (C:\)
+
+2. Add the following line to your torVars.bat:
+set MESA_BASE=C:\Mesa
+
+OR copy the new torVars.bat in your bin path:
+c:/Mesa/src/ugl/tornado/torVars.sample ->
+/mnt/nt/Tornado/host/x86-win32/bin/torVars (for example)
+
+3. In a command prompt:
+$ torVars
+$ cd c:\Mesa
+$ make -f Makefile.ugl CPU=PENTIUM
+
+Take a long while...
+
+5. Include all the files from ugldemos folder to build some downloadable
+ application modules
+
+4. Download UGL/Mesa object files on target
+
+For example via the WindShell:
+ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaGL.o
+ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaUGL.o
+ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaGLU.o
+ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objGLUTshapes.o
+ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaOS.o
+
+You can put the previous lines in a file and use:
+< filename
+
+6. Download the application modules.
+
+7. In WindShell, run:
+-> uglalldemos
+
+During the show some messages will appear, it provides some useful
+information on key management.
+
+
+Coding
+------
+
+Sample Usage:
+
+In addition to the usual ugl calls to initialize UGL, (may be find an
+input driver), you must do the following to use the UGL/Mesa interface:
+
+1. Call uglMesaCreateContext() to create a UGL/Mesa rendering context,
+ given the display format.
+
+2. Call uglMesaMakeCurrent() to bind the UGL/Mesa buffers to an
+ UGL/Mesa Context and to make the context the current one.
+
+3. Make gl* calls to render your graphics.
+
+4. Use uglMesaSwapBuffers() when double buffering to swap front/back buffers.
+
+5. Before the UGL is destroyed, call MesaDestroyContext().
+
+6. Before exiting, call if required uglEventQDestroy and then
+ uglDeinitialize();
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+I found the following limitations in my driver :
+ - Color Indexed management is only in 8 bits
+ - It's possible to mix UGL/OpenGL application with a software
+ double buffer
