Does anyone use a windows template they could lend me? I just need something that sets up a window that OpenGL can draw to. Thanks.

Look at Nehe''s site , there a tutorial and 3 frameworks for a ''win32 lean and mean'' application with opengl support there

If the Win32 thing really bugs you, you can just use the GLUT libraries Window creation method. If you were to use that to create your window, and plain OpenGL for everything else, I reckon it wouldn''t slow things down too much (GLUT works quite well for smaller games and demo''s, wouldn''t use it if you were building the next Quake III, though

). Also, as v71 suggested, look around. There''s plenty of stuff out there that will fill that purpose.
