Unlikely, but you may not have many changes to make, particularly if
you've avoided IrisGL calls in callbacks.

Just try to recompile the source code against 2.2 and deal with the
problems as the compiler chokes. It may not be painfull.

FYI, it's an Onyx RealityEngine, not a Onyx Reality.

Cheers,Angus.

For years now, whenever NT has been proven to have some debilitating
weakness we've heard from MS advocates that NT would catch up, there was
just an incredible faith in this OS and Microsoft's ability to somehow
get there. With the recent results of the Linux vs NT serving benchmark
that same attitude can be seen in the Linux community. The Linux folks
aren't too worried, "Sure the single threaded IP stack was slow but
it'll be fixed in the next release.", it's eerily familiar but I have
confidence in the Linux community's ability to remedy problems and I
don't groan in pain as I used to when Microsoft made similar claims.
