Well, because I  rolled my own glWindows core which I  was able to map
to fltk, I did not try glut for  a long time. The main point is that I
want to be  able to control graphics from  legacy numerical code which
means  that I  calculate  something, draw(),  do further  calculations
draw()  again in  the same  windwo  etc.  The  conventional main  loop
handling in GLUT  (at least in the  versions I had a look  at) did not
give me this option. Yes, maybe I am  wrong, but at the and I am not a
GUI guy, but a numerical analyst with coding addiction...

Ok,  this becomes  off-topic,  so I  stop  here. I  crosspost this  to
luacheia.
