Our product is a real time 3D rendering library with software
implementations reaching the quoted performance figures.  Hardware
accelerated implementations will be available for the new generation
of 3D accelerated graphics cards.

The product is called Reality Lab and is available now on MS-DOS,
Windows 3.1, Windows NT, Sparcs, SGI workstations and FreeBSD.  For
more details, email info@render.com.

The graphics card used was a Tseng ET4000 VL bus..
