tSX Horn 1.4 preview version.
For tS 5.1 to 6.6. Not tested in tS 7.6x

- fix some error handlers;
- add option to close the surface for 3-45 sector;
this get a closed surface for SDS operations at low resolutions.
- add OpenGL (freeGLUT) preview window;

INSTALLATION:
Extract the zip content with path inside the "..\tsx\" folder. Move the files "tSXpreview.exe" and "freeglut.dll" within the main trueSpace root (where the "ts.exe" and its .DLLs are). The .exe is compiled without MFC shared DLLs, this would ensure a better compatibility. Both files are 32bit versions, on some x64 operating systems maybe must tell the OS to load the .exe as such. The tSXHorn plug-in acts like a wrapper for the OpenGL viewer, therefore by click on the latter icon will not get the desired result.

Preview commands:
- ESC: quit preview window;
- key UP: move camera forward;
- key DOWN: move camera backward;
- key "p": show path point shape;
- SPACE BAR: stop/resume rotation;
- Mouse WHEEL move camera forward/backward;

Note:
- No need to close the preview window before to load it again; the plug-in buttons will do that for you. The close button of the preview's window does save its screen position.
- the previewed surface hold the material as it is set. OpenGL lights and material have been tuned so to achieve the default tS phong parameters as much as possible.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- viewport width and height are not saved;
- maximized window position is not saved.
