-<li><b><font size=+2>What</font></b>
-<p>
-freeglut is a completely OpenSourced alternative to the OpenGL Utility
-Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard
-to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'.
-Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications
-because it is simple, universally available and highly portable.
-<p>
-GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage
-windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and
-also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions.
-<p>
-freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license.
-<p>
-
-<li><b><font size=+2>Why</font></b>
-<p>
-The original GLUT library seems to have been abandoned with the most
-recent version (3.7) dating back to August 1998. It's license does
-not allow anyone to distribute modified the library code. This would
-be OK, if not for the fact that GLUT is getting old and really needs
-improvement. Also, GLUT's license is incompatible with some software
-distributions (eg Xfree86).
-<p>
-
-<li><b><font size=+2>Who</font></b>
-<p>
-freeglut was originally written by Pawel W. Olszta with contributions
-from Andreas Umbach and Steve Baker. Steve is now the official
-owner/maintainer of freeglut.
-<p>
-
-<li><b><font size=+2>When</font></b>
-<p>
-Pawel started freeglut development on December 1st, 1999.
-The project is now a virtually 100% replacement for the original
-GLUT with only a few departures (such as the abandonment of SGI-specific
-features such as the Dials&Buttons box and Dynamic Video Resolution).

-<li><b><font size=+2>Support</font></b>
-<p>
-Send freeglut related questions to the appropriate freeglut mailing list:
-<ul>
-<li><a href="mailto:freeglut-developer@lists.sourceforge.net">freeglut-developer</a>,
-<li><a href="mailto:freeglut-announce@lists.sourceforge.net">freeglut-announce</a> and
-<li><a href="mailto:freeglut-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net">freeglut-bugs</a>.

-<li><b><font size=+2>Documentation</font></b>
-<p>
-I believe this is enough for a short introduction.
-If you are not tired of reading yet, check out the
-<a href="freeglut.html">freeglut project log</a>. Here you will find the
-yet-to-be-introduced new project <a href="structure.html">structure
-description</a>. Finally, here you will find the latest
-<a href="progress.html">work progress report</a>. Since freeglut is
-a re-implementation of the original GLUT API, you can find API
-documentation at <A HREF="http://www.opengl.org">http://www.opengl.org</A>.
