VRML List Members:

As this is clearly the source of a great deal of confusion, I'm taking this
opportunity to recapitulate TGS' README.TXT FAQ about WebSpace for
MS-Windows. It should address most all questions.

At this time (1 PM EDT), WebSpace for Win3.1 is NOT available; however,
WebSpace for WinNT 3.5 is accessible at
ftp://ftp.sd.tgs.com/pub/template/WebSpace/NT_Intel/

README -- 15-May-95 -- WebSpace for Windows 1.0 Beta1

*************************************************************************
* Yes! It's May 15 and this *is* the WebSpace for Windows Beta release! *
*************************************************************************

Software Requirements:

To run the WebSpace for Windows 1.0 Beta1 VRML viewer under:

Windows NT you must have
----------
+ Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51

+ WebSpace for Win32 (see WS32N10B.EXE on our ftp site).

+ Standard Microsoft DLLs for the VC++ runtime library, MFC and OLE.
If you have MSVC++ 2.1 installed then you're all set, otherwise
you will need to download these (see WIN32DLL.EXE on our ftp site).

Windows 3.1 you must have
-----------

+ Windows 3.1 or 3.11 (WFWG)

+ WebSpace for Win32s (see WS32S10B.EXE on our ftp site).

Note: Win32s is a Microsoft subsystem that allows 32 bit programs
to run in the 16 bit Windows environment. WebSpace is not a 16 bit
program and no 16 bit version of WebSpace is planned.
+ Standard Microsoft DLLs for Win32s 1.2
If you have MSVC++ 2.x they are on your installation CD, otherwise
you will need to download these (see WIN32S.EXE on our ftp site).

+ Standard Microsoft DLLs for the VC++ runtime library, MFC and OLE.
If you have MSVC++ 2.1 installed then you're all set, otherwise
you will need to download these (see WIN32DLL.EXE on our ftp site).

Windows 95 you must have
----------

+ Patience!
WebSpace is based on the OpenGL 3D rendering library which is not
available yet (look for it shortly after Windows 95 is released).

Hardware Requirements:

To run the WebSpace for Windows you should have at least:

+ A 486/66 processor

+ 8 MB memory

+ 256 color graphics card
