I am new to VRML, but I am planning on modifying 2 public-domain
programs to combine HTML/VRML, and that way I know them well-enough to
continue modifying them as changes come out, as I want to design a
dynamic VR browser.
I agree with your comment, and am curious if you have esad "From
Webspace to Cyberspace", by Kevin Hughes? It is esally fascinating
esading, and has helped to change my focus on some of what I wanted to
do. He goes into what the Web should be able to do (I am halfway done
with the document).
Well take care and have fun.
