Hej Allan !

I understand ... :-)
The class reference guide wasn't of much help anyway, since it only
contains the function headers (??):
http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/dynaweb_bin/ebt-bin/0650/nph-infosrch.cgi/infosrchtpl/SGI_Developer/PerfRef_CC/++at++InfoSearch__BookTextView/11807?DwebQuery=libpfutil
I'll use the man pages in the meanwhile ... but it would be really nice if
you could add some info on the documentation part of the Performer
homepage that says that function references are provided in the man pages
(preferrably with some example, like "man pfGLXWinopen" or something like
that :-) ) ...

That's a pity, because I think that many people would prefer to read such
stuff from web pages instead of man pages, if it was properly referenced
from the Performer homepage..
Servus,
