About VrmlPointers & Search

Basically for internal usage and probably biased in some aspects ! Started on Feb 20 97, last major update in March 98 (!!!) - some cleaning in 2004 Lots of links are broken ... why the %&*** hell do they always reorganize their sites ?? I think that once every 5 years is enough and I really don't have time repairing this.... Will clean up this whole mess some day, whenever I have time :).

You can search this index. Though output is disgusting (since it just spits back elements found in the source page version). So, IGNORE identations! Provide a boolean keyword expression or a Perl regular expression as a search pattern.

VRML 97 Browsers

Be careful when you install 2 plugins/browser on the same (Win/NT) machine. Not only you need a plug-in chooser (e.g. Sony's), but if you want things to work correctly consult Bob Crispen's Index (the "Viewing VRML Worlds) section).
