Thanks for the enlightenment John. -Doug

I haven't worked on freewrl for a year, don't have it on my new disk. Don't
know if or when I'll get back to it or web3d.

freewrl was getting toward its end-of-life
Option 1: abandon
Option 2. struggle on when get time
Option 3. change language/platform ie C# .net and MAUI or Blazer
Option 5. just use it to work through web3d experiments
Option 6.  work on peripheral tools for web3d content developers > HAnim
export from MakeHuman? Blender import/export updates? Revamp dune?
Option 7. work on any uncompleted Components in other web3d browsers and
authoring tools. Script node for view3dscene?
Option 8. change viewer to oculus (via openXR?) or hololens
Option 9: realtime ray tracing with nVidia extensions to vulkan
There's a funny trade off between 'interesting' and 'too much work for too
little value': the things that are still itchy, are too much work for too
little value.
But I'm fighting other battles right now, for how long I don't know.
