 Web site of Prof. Keyser's Graphics course at Texas A and M. It includes instructions for OpenGL on Windows.

 Cygwin/X Software Info and Download Cygwin (http://x.cygwin.com) is free (GNU licensed) software that provides an X server built on a Unix-like programming environment on MS Windows systems. This "X Server" is a free alternative to the XWin32 on UAlbany user room PCs. It enables you to do run programs on ITSUNIX and have their windows appear on your own PC. With Cygwin, you can also compile and run OpenGL programs completely in your own computer.

 But, if you want to compile and run programs in Unix in your own computer, it is better to buy an additional hard drive (or partition one hard drive, less convenient) and use Linux. If that is new to you, I recommend you work with a book that has Linux distribution CDs included. If it isn't new, you know where to download it! OpenGL and glut are already included in current Linux distributions.
