Subject: minutes of GUI meeting

Hi Dhiman,
  Your GUI group minutes captured the essence of our disucssion very well.
But the part about graphics drivers was a little confusing. GL is the old
graphics language of Silicon Graphics. It will no longer be supported
by them in the near future. It has evolved into OpenGL, which is now
an industry standard, and is the language recommended by the D0 graphics
group for future graphics work. Scott mentioned that Python on the SGI
had extensions that used the GL language. I assume these will be converted
to OpenGL in the future. Scott also mentioned many freeware and commercial
toolkits were available that generated GUIs. These have nothing to do with 
GL or OpenGl. 
   Thanks for getting the minutes out so fast!
Best regards,
Sharon Hagopian
