Hi, just a quick question... I must confess that I am a bit surprised, indeed I
am the author of TOpenGL, and I noticed quite a lot of similitudes between your
code and mine... I was even more surprised when I saw that you even implemented
the printing and saving capabilities. I don't know if you got access to my code
or not, but let me tell you this: if, as you pretend it, you are somewhat new to
both C++ Builder and Win32 programming, then you are some kind of genius to come
out with that piece of code. I don't pretend to be a genius, but I don't pretend
either to be the author of such a code as a newbie.

I don't think there is anything I can do to prevent you from publishing "your"
code, but I wouldn't mind some kind of explanations, as I am a bit astonished...

    Alan.
