I got in contact with Tom somw weeks ago, because I wanted to port TIERRA
to Win95. He told me it will be available under Windows soon, but we
could work together in other TIERRA topics.

So do you want to create a specific interface ? or do you just want to use
VRML to build an application with it ?

Maybe in a first step it would be enough to create a .wrl file which can
be used by a VRML Viewer. In a more dynamic usage it would be a performance
issue.
