Hello World,

   I am new to IV and am not sure what are all its capabilities.  I have a
few questions regarding optimization, specifically on the RS/6000:

a.	Does IV make use of faster graphics in the IBM GL cards (the original
high performance card, GT4, GT4X etc)?

b.	Can I combine native GL calls together with IV?  For example, can
I use IV for menu and buttons, but double-buffering for animation etc?  How
then would the color maps/planes be shared (because in double-buffering, I
take over control of all the planes)?

c.	How would one make a decision between IV and Motif?

Thanks.
