OpenGL.<br />
RELEASE OF RV<strong>6.8</strong> <strong>TNT</strong> PRODUCTS<br />
OpenGL is now built into the X Server for direct use in your X client programs that can<br />
make use of it. <strong>TNT</strong> products do not yet make direct use of this built in OpenGL for rendering.<br />
Render Extension.<br />
The Render extension is now supported. This extension is used mainly to support antialiased<br />
text in X clients. The Render extension was invented by Keith Packard and has<br />
been used in the <strong>TNT</strong> products for some time.<br />
Fo nt Server.<br />
X font servers are now supported. This allows a remote server to provide fonts not installed<br />
with MI/X. This is useful for remote systems like Solaris that use proprietary<br />
fonts. It has no direct use in the <strong>TNT</strong> products.<br />
X11R6.6.<br />
The core of MI/X 4.0 is based on XFree86 4.2.1. This latest upgrade to the X server is<br />
part of RV<strong>6.8</strong> and solves several minor problems in X windows.<br />
Tlite ® TN RV<strong>6.8</strong><br />
Many university students and interested professionals are downloading <strong>TNT</strong>lite. High<br />
school and grade school students and teachers occasionally download <strong>TNT</strong>lite. The<br />
number of <strong>TNT</strong>lites downloaded from microimages.com in 2002 was 33% greater than<br />
in 2001. Another measure of this increase in interest is the amount of bytes moved out<br />
from microimages.com each month. At this time about 300 gigabytes are transferred<br />
out (downloaded) monthly from microimages.com. The portion of this bandwidth used<br />
for patches is a small portion of that used for <strong>TNT</strong>lite. Furthermore, <strong>MicroImages</strong> general<br />
web site uses a separate web connection from those used to support the download<br />
of <strong>TNT</strong>lite. As a result,<br />
most of this outgoing traffic is from downloads of <strong>TNT</strong>lite.<br />
Required Activation Code.<br />
<strong>TNT</strong>mips, <strong>TNT</strong>edit, and <strong>TNT</strong>view used free as part of <strong>TNT</strong>lite RV<strong>6.8</strong> (which means,<br />
without a Software Authorization Key) now require an activation code to start the first<br />
time. <strong>TNT</strong>atlas and <strong>TNT</strong>sim3D are freely distributed publication tools that have no lite<br />
limits and do not require a Software Authorization Key or this activation code to run.<br />
Who Needs a Code?<br />
An activation code is required no matter how <strong>TNT</strong>lite is installed: from an official RV<strong>6.8</strong><br />
CD, a duplicate of this CD, a download from microimages.com or a mirror site, or by<br />
other means. When <strong>TNT</strong>mips, <strong>TNT</strong>edit, or <strong>TNT</strong>view are started the first time without a<br />
Software Authorization Key, they present a dialog box for you to enter both your email<br />
address and the activation code. The product will then start and restart each time without<br />
the code. When any of these 3 <strong>TNT</strong> analysis products are activated in this fashion,<br />
they are all activated.<br />
When<br />
Will I Need A New Code?<br />
You only need to successfully activate <strong>TNT</strong>lite the first time you start one of the 3 products.<br />
You do not need to repeat this process for any subsequent use of <strong>TNT</strong>lite. Your<br />
