Policy Line - I have never, and will never, support nor recommend the use of Glide Wrappers with my Glide plugin.
With that said, you are free to experiment if you so desire, just don't expect any problems to be investigated, etc.
To be honest, I don't know of any Glide Wrapper that supports all the features of Glideł that I use. I vaguely remember one being developed that started to support the necessary features/functions, but can't remember the name nor remember how far progressed it got. I am not being dismissive of them, I genuinely can't remember
Glide Wrapper's are perfect for when there is only Glide support in an application, and no native support for your card.
Bottom line is - you are much better off using Pete's OpenGL or D3D plugins for your card, because they talk to your card natively rather than having to go through a layer of emulation (which is what the Glide Wrapper is essentially doing). I programmed my plugin with 3dfx cards in mind (which is how Glide works), and that doesn't necessarily fit well with how other manufacturer's cards are designed.
