 In general, MacGLide works best when used in the MacOS X Classic environment. In this case
 it can use the MacOS X OpenGL driver to render better quality images, and offers a lot more
 features (like anisotropic filtering, Full Scene Antialiasing, etc.).
 In MacOS 9, the performance is a little bit better, but the rendering quality is not as good
-as in the Classic environment.

 On MacOS 9, MacGLide doesn't run very well. The development of MacGLide
 is focussed on features available through the Classic environemnt.
 As a result, MacOS9 users have to live with the following inconveniences:
 
 - Fog is missing
-- Unreal doesn't work with mipmaps enabled.
+- In Carmageddon, textured objects loose their texture and are rendered white.
-- In Carmageddon, textured objects loose their texture adn become white shaded.
 - The MacOS 9.22 OpenGL drivers doesn't support Antialiasing.
