I just wanted to mention that the Macintosh supports the same features via
current routines (AOCE) and goes a step further with OpenDoc (the beta
version should be available to developers by now) so if you agree that the
major platforms are Mac, PC/Win, and UNIX, I believe that we can create a
package with the same capabbilities for all the aforementioned. Just
thought it might be useful to note that the primary capabilities of
Inventor can be implemented on all the major boxes with today's development
tools.
Speaking of which... I wonder if it might not be appropriate to start
generating a skills inventory at this juncture. Perhaps someone could
quietly (off-list) start generating an accumulation of development skills
from the list members. Maybe a Form w/non-Form compat e-mail submission on
the VRML www page that gives an idea of coding background and some idea of
the amount of free time you have for coding projects over the next few
months -> year.
Feedback appreciated!
