I think you meant vg calls only. The pf calls won't be work on NT, though
gl should be fine (guess). SGI won't make a statement about Vega working on
NT though Performer won't, they're none to happy that Paradigm made the
middleware they did.

Not quite true. If you only use pf calls through MPI's Vega wrapper, your
source
code will be transportable to WinNT. If you use any pf calls directly, it
won't
go. I'm not sure about mixing Vega and OpenGL calls.
