Hi,

I'm not so sure. The word I've heard is that Performer will not, for legal
reasons, be supported under NT at all. This (apparently) includes the Vega
NT API. If Paradigm/Silicon Graphics know different, could they please make
a direct statement to this effect, as it will have a definite impact on our
ongoing work.

Cheers,

Pete
