Although I've just started researching all this, the Blackbox
"Ogl" libraries are simply interfaces to the Microsoft provided
"OPENGL32.DLL" and "GLU32.DLL". Microsoft's libraries
do provide hardware accelleration when possible, so it seems
to me that this would be available to anyone using the "Ogl"
Blackbox libraries.
