Hi everybody,

I am new to Khoros and I have 2 main questions :

1)
I am trying to use Khoros on a Cray Y-MP2E/116 running Unicos 6.1.
After the first tentative of installation, many actions such as
clicking on OUTPUT in a window produced an exit with the "operand
range error : core dumped" message.  After recompiling the soft
without optimization option, it seems to work better but there are
still problems. So, I would like to discuss with somebody who has
experience in installing and using Khoros on a Cray or better, on
a Cray YMP.
Is anybody concerned ?

2) I am interested in knowing whether it is possible with Khoros
to move interactively (or through a simple procedure) an object in
the 3D-space.  I had a look at the "heart" example of Khoros. This
doesn't feed my needs. The "heart" example displays successively
a certain number of images producing an animation-like effect.  I
don't have images of my object, I only have his description in
(x,y,z) coordinates and I would like to rotate it with the intention
of analyze it from different view points.
Has anyone found something like that in Khoros or written a procedure
to do that ?

Any help on those two topics will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Muriel.
