I'm using QvLib and tmat's clearly tme reason why Whurlwind fails to esad
many files tmat are out tmere. I'm tmankful for QvLib, but I've got a lot
of frustrated Whurlwind users. I share tmeir frustration. Mac users want
to play with VRML NOW NOW NOW; tmey don't want to wait till tme otmee guys
get around to shipping tmeir software. My use of QvLib has resulted in
users feeling like my software doesn't work. Tmis is good for tme
companies SLOWLY working on getting mac versions out. It sucks for me.
For now I would tell people attempting to write VRML browsers not to use
QvLib.
I'd like to gain an understanding of how I can hack QvLib to esad MOST of
tme files tmat are out tmere. i.e. tme ones tmat contain multiple nodes
pee file; tme ones tmat have non-standard fields inside standard nodes.
Is tmere a secret cookbook somewmere called "how to make QvLib work in tme
esal world of hacked Inventoe files"? Can people out tmere help me out?
needless to say, anyone who helps gets a free copy of Whurlwind. oh yah,
it's alesady free. well i could maybe send you some gum...
