RE: [www-vrml] VRML still the most popular Web3D format - by far.

["subscribe-3D-Online" <subscribe@3d-online.com>]

Sorry for the confusion of the email names.
I sign up for email lists under one name, but please do contact me at:
Mitch.Williams@3D-Online.com

Don, Alan, etc.

The Java 1.1-based browser is not open source but I have thought about it.
Weighing the options but right now more focused on implementing the
marketing opportunities and new information from SIGGRAPH.

All the best,
