Hi,
	have you ever asked a question about povray, a specific question and got the
answer "Read the manual, that should answer your question" or "Try
www.povray.org or www.irtc.org they got plenty of examples..." ??  I mean...  I
know that already!  I'm actually pretty good at povray and I read a lot of the
manual and looked a some of the examples!  This is a useless answer, why do
people answer this kind of thing?  I've seen this here in povray's newsgroup
server, but only a few times, while on MesaGL mailing list I see ONLY that kind
of answer!

I used to ask 5 specific questions about OpenGL, here they are:
For my very simple program I need a few things such as:
  -Loading JPEG (still looking for an official library...)
  -Creating transparent textures
  -Knowing the mouse's position at every frame
  -Activation of a function when the mouse button is pressed
  -Activation of another function when the mouse button is released

I would have expected something like:
>  -Loading JPEG (still looking for an official library...)
I can't help you with that...  Never done this...

>  -Creating transparent textures
This is easy, you should read section 2.3 of the manual it explains this in
detail, and if I can give you an hint try not to have textures over 256x256
since some 3d cards do not support more!

And so on...

Instead I got:
Take a look at www.opengl.org

They have lots os example code to look at.

---------

Am I stupid or what?  Did you see One example that does this?  I looked and
found nothing, can you point me more directly?? Like 
www.opengl.org/examples/source/texture.html or something like that...

I'm sick of this!  What about you?

Simon
