// Revision 1.6  1998/05/16 13:08:37  curt
// C++ - ified views.[ch]xx
// Shuffled some additional view parameters into the fgVIEW class.
// Changed tile-radius to tile-diameter because it is a much better
//   name.
// Added a WORLD_TO_EYE transformation to views.cxx.  This allows us
//  to transform world space to eye space for view frustum culling.
//

// Added a command line option to disable textures.
//
// Revision 1.3  1998/04/25 22:06:31  curt
// Edited cvs log messages in source files ... bad bad bad!
//
// Revision 1.2  1998/04/24 00:49:22  curt

//
// Revision 1.9  1998/01/29 00:50:29  curt

//
// Revision 1.6  1998/01/19 19:27:10  curt
// Merged in make system changes from Bob Kuehne <rpk@sgi.com>
// This should simplify things tremendously.

// Began working on rendering a sky.
//
// Revision 1.3  1997/12/15 23:54:51  curt
// Add xgl wrappers for debugging.
// Generate terrain normals on the fly.
//
// Revision 1.2  1997/12/10 22:37:48  curt
// Prepended "fg" on the name of all global structures that didn't have it yet.
// i.e. "struct WEATHER {}" became "struct fgWEATHER {}"
//
// Revision 1.1  1997/08/27 21:31:18  curt
