Users will receive free upgrades for one year including the finished
product.  Updates will be available on the Xi Graphics Anon-FTP site and
upgrades will be distributed on CD-ROM.  Work has already started on
Evolution 2 of the product line, which will offer speed improvements,
stability corrections and enhancements.

Evolution 1 is not fully OpenGL spec compliant.  Before the product is
completed, it will be compliant, offering a single library interface to
OpenGL across multiple OS's and multiple boards, support for more
classes of input device, more graphics chips and increasing the speed to
the usual competition-demolition speeds.

For this limited edition of the product, please contact devrel@xig.com
to apply for a copy.   The Xi Graphics Sales are unable to take orders
for this product as we expect the demand to significantly exceed the
supply!

Cheers, JeremyC.
