[Newbies] Problems getting started with OpenGL in Squeak

[Derek O'Connell]

lol, dug up a Croquet install and it is nearly a year since I used it
:-) Probably better if someone else chipped in with advice. Only thing
I can think is that opengl32.dll cannot be found. Here it is in
c:\windows\system32 but if you want to be sure then drop a copy in the
squeak directory. Works here in CroquetCollaborative-1.0.
