  89 <h1>Demos, GLUT, and GLU</h1>
  90
  91 <p>
  92 A package of SGI's GLU library is available
  93 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/" target="_parent">here</a>
  94 </p>
  95
  96 <p>
  97 A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
  98 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/" target="_parent">here</a>
  99 </p>
 100
 101 <p>
 102 The Mesa demos collection is available
 103 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/" target="_parent">here</a>
 104 </p>
 105
 106 <p>
 107 In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
 108 Mesa releases.  But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
 109 were split off into their own git repositories:
 110
 111 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/">GLUT</a>,
 112 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">GLU</a> and
 113 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos/">Demos</a>,
