About SciTech SNAP Graphics for Linux
-------------------------------------

SciTech SNAP Graphics provides high performance graphics accelerator
access across a wide range of modern graphics hardware and operating
systems. The core technology is our SciTech SNAP Graphics Architecture,
which is a cross platform device driver technology enabling the use of
the same device drivers in all versions of SciTech SNAP Graphics.
Sharing the drivers between platforms improves the quality and
performance of device drivers for all supported operating systems.  

The install archive contains the end user Linux installation of SciTech
SNAP Graphics. It contains all of the necessary Linux based utilities
and device drivers that work with SciTech SNAP based applications, as
well as full support for XFree86 4.0.2 and later official releases.
Applications that can utilise SciTech SNAP currently include
applications developed using the SciTech MGL graphics library, or
applications written to work directly with the SciTech SNAP device
drivers.
