			3D HARDWARE AND BORDERED TEXTURES
			=================================


	I haven't been able to test ssystem by myself on many 3d hardware
(only Voodoo, Riva TNT and Permedia chipsets) and all of them worked fine
with unbordered textures. With bordered textures either it won't work at all
(Voodoo) or VERY SLOW (Riva TNT).

	The bordered textures feature has been included to avoid artifacts
between adjacent texture objects when running under some OpenGL drivers
(AFAIK Microsoft OpenGL and Mesa with software-only driver).

	Don't even try to run ssystem on 3Dfx OpenGL beta 2.1, it won't work
properly (i'd say this driver is in a very early beta stage and thus contains
lots of bugs). Anyway, Mesa is faster and more stable so who cares ;-)

	If you own a 3D card but it doesn't support OpenGL, you should
download one of these Direct3D-->OpenGL wrappers.
