  83
  84 <p>
  85 A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
  86 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/" target="_parent">here</a>
  87 </p>
  88
  89 <p>
  90 The Mesa demos collection is available

  92 </p>
  93
  94 <p>
  95 In the past, GLUT and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
  96 Mesa releases.  But since GLUT and the demos change infrequently, they
  97 were split off some time ago.
