I have just started fiddling with pfLightSources on our Infinite
Reality (Irix 6.2, Performer 2.1, Open GL compilation) trying out the
projected texture and shadow capabilities.

I got the projected texture mode to work, but was having problems with
shadows, so I looked through the list archives. I found several
postings which said that Performer (2.0 and 2.1) did not support
shadows on IR, but that future versions would...

Question: Has there been a patch/interim release I have missed which
provides such support in performer? If not, can anyone at SGI comment
on when such support will be available. (I believe Open GL does
provide the mechanism for generating shadows, but is it worth me doing
it myself!).

Regards.

Mark.
