If you want to see a complete, working example of an MIT-SHM C++ class
library, designed with portability to different non-X11 operating
systems in mind, check out Free3d.  You can use it under the terms of
the GNU Library Public License.

In this thread, I probably sound like a broken record.  But I don't
necessarily spell out all at once what Free3d has to offer, and if I
see something that I know Free3d is strong in, I'm inclined to post
something specific about that.  I'm not trying to toodle my own horn,
so much as point out a specific piece of genuinely useful code.
