pfHey,

You say that this application was written for Linux, so I don't know if
my answer will
make sense to you or not. If not, apologies.

Although I'm not sure glws.h seems to be related to IRIS gl drawing
widget. On an IRIX system
you can find this header on the include directory for IRIS gl. Note that
this is quite
different from OpenGL.

In order to port this to Win32 the best thing is to check how the
application initializes
Performer. If it's a motif application then you need to, either, do the
equivalent for
Win32 or simply alter the way the initialization is done. This can be
tricky or not.
If your application uses Motif widgets and Performer runs only on a
certain area of your window,
like in an MFC application (dialog or not) then you will need to code
that using the Windows API
or some abstraction of the Windows API that already supports this.

If not simply initialize Performer in the usual way.
