Hi Mike,
Firstly - thanks for jumping all the way to doing this.
Looks like the extension has made it thro ARB approval. I found the EXT
version here:
http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/extensions.html
specifically:
http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/extensions/ext_texture_rectangle.html
It will be a little while before I can test this: my question was
preempting some porting work, but I'll let you know if there are any
troubles when I do.
Cheers,
Daniel
