I too had many problems with version 1 of EscapeGL...random lockups, 
no full screen, etc. ( I have a Number Nine Imagine 128 series 2 video
card with 4 meg of ram).  However, I couldn't resist buying version 
2.0.  Initially I had problems running 2.0, as it would bring my 
system to a halt.  I should mention that I am currently running warp 
4.0 with fixpak 1 on a 200MHz Pentium Pro with 96 meg of ram.  I 
downloaded the Open GL version 1.1 update, and I am happy to report 
that all of my problems went away.  Version 2.0 works like a charm 
(even in full screen mode), and I am extremely happy with the program.
 This is just my experience and your mileage may vary.
