Those of you who downloaded VR Scout 1.2 before 9:30AM PST Thursday December
14, please download it again and reinstall. We fixed a bug relating to
embedded images. If the about box (which comes up when you hit the right
mouse button, then "About VR Scout...") does not say "VR Scout 1.2b2", you
have the older version and should get this newer one.

Chaco's latest product, VR Scout 1.2b2 Plugin, is now available for beta
testing. VR Scout 1.2b2 is a Netscape 2.0b3 compatible plugin, so you'll
need to get the latest version of Netscape (or use some other web browser
that supports Netscape plugins) to use it.

VR Scout 1.2b2 is about 4 times faster than VR Scout 1.1, fixes several
bugs, and includes many new features. VR Scout now brings the best of
both worlds: Amazing speed plus great VRML standards compliance. Enjoy!

Download via anonymous FTP from

ftp://ftp2.chaco.com/pub/glenn/vrscout/npsc120.exe
ftp://ftp.chaco.com/pub/vrscout/npsc120.exe

Run the file on Windows95 or Windows/NT 3.51 to install.

A few caveats:
If you're using Worldview and want to continue doing so, you may
have problems, since we install the latest version of Reality
Lab, and they don't work with it, we don't think. You should be able
to copy rl*.dll and the contents of the rl directory in your Windows
system directory and restore that version of Reality Lab, or just
re-install Worldview again.

If you use the WebFX plugin, you'll want to move it out of the
Netscape 'plugins' directory so Netscape can find VR Scout. It's
a pain to switch between WebFX and VR Scout for now, and we're
hoping Netscape will solve this in s future beta.

Check out the readme for some more caveats and information about
this release.

This release runs on Windows 95 and NT only. A later release will run on
Windows 3.1.
