I've read somewhere that "Gold" designates IBM wide beta versions. The final
release of version 1.1 never happened due to rapid collapse of IBM Austin PSP
department soon afterwards (in November, 1997).

By the way, if it was the release, they will most likely have it included in
Warp 4.5 convenience package(s) but there aren't any plans for OpenGL
enhancements in CP#1, as far as I know. Moreover, the Aurora distribution
contains the same old rusty OpenGL v 1.0.
