- VRweb 0.53 Beta
- ===============
-
- This is the NT version of VRweb a VRML browser for Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x
- and Windows 95 with native OpenGL support.
-
- VRweb is a joint project between IICM (Hyper-G team), NCSA (mosaic), and the
- Gopher team. For copyright and license please read
-
- Installation:
- =============
-
- Due to the NT Bug # 15544 the system can be shut down with a system error using
- VRweb for NT. You can use VRweb, if you either install glsrv.dll into your
- Windows NT system32 directory or contact Microsoft Product Support Services and
- reference the bug.
-
- To install VRweb create a directory and unzip the archive with
-
- unzip vrw_nt
-
- Then you can create an icon in the Program Manager. In a later version we
- will supply an install program.
-
- To install VRweb with Mosaic 2.00:
-
- Get a VRML scene from your prefered sever. Mosaic asks you whether to save the
- file to disk or to configure a viewer. Select to configure a viewer and
- another dialog appears. Press the browse button and select VRweb at the location
- you did put it to. Press OK and Mosaic is configured for use with VRweb.
-
- Configuration with Netscape is analogous.
-
- System requirements:
- ====================
-
- To use VRweb you should have an 486-50 and 8 MB of memory or better. If
- rendering is slow use as interactive mode wireframe (Menue Rendering-
- Interactive-Wireframe)
-
- Beta limitations:
- =================
-
- Because of being Beta some features are not implemented yet (but will in near
- future):
-
- * Fly to mode is not implemented with VRML scenes
- * Context sensitive help
- * No network support (hyperg, http)
- * No WWWAnchor and WWWInline support
-
- INI-file options:
- =================
-
- The UseTrueColor option in the INI file is not important for this version. With InitialMode
- you can define the initial rendering mode of VRweb (0 = wireframe 4 = texture).
- InteractiveMode sets the initial quality switchback mode. Standard is smooth shading for
- rendering and wireframe for switch back (interactive mode).
