Hi Gordon,

What about when I'm on a machine and graphics card that only supports say 
OpenGL 2.1,  

I guess this is an argument for reverse approach ie  to use common denominator 
and use extension versions in their earliest forms.... 
It is a valid point, I must admit I have not thought about it. Maybe chnging 
_EXT, _ARB  to non suffix versions is not such a good idea after all. Maybe it 
was too early to come up with this proposal... 

Wojtek

  Would these only be obsolete if your using Opengl 3.2 ?

  What about when I'm on a machine and graphics card that only supports say 
OpenGL 2.1,  

  this is a very common case for us were users are in very controlled 
environments and running on older equipment that is unlikely to get upgraded or 
new drivers etc.

  Hi Everyone,

  Lots of older OpenGL extensions are now included in OpenGL specification 
(rel. 3.2). I'd like to propose a small cleaning movement of OSG sources

  Every time we submit a change of some OSG file we could also check for 
obsolete GL extension:  EXT, ARB, NV, ATI etc symbols and replace them with 
most current OpenGL names.

  Idea is to take it easy and slow. Lets change only these header and source 
files which would get submitted anyways. Changing and submitting all OSG source 
at once could easily swamp Robert.

  Cheers,
  Wojtek Lewandowski
