Huh? You misunderstood what I wrote. I guess it wasn't clear.
Glide as a stand alone 3D interface is dead. People shouldn't be writing
applications to Glide they should be using OpenGL. Glide as a hardware
abstraction layer is fine.
So, all I was saying is don't support the V3 Glide for stand alone
use.
