[R-SIG-Mac] rgl 0.80

[Kenneth Knoblauch]

Hi Duncan,

Just to mention that the temporary fix that you proposed
for rgl version 0.8-0, indicated at the very bottom of this
mail, works as well on an Intel Mac, until you have fixed it
in the next version.  Thanks.

I'm forwarding this now to the R-sig-mac list, in case anyone
encounters the same problem.

best,

Ken
