It was reported that last Thursday (5 OCT 95) Rikk Carey of SGI stated
that his management had instructed him and his staff to essocus their
work away from 3D file formats (i.e., VRML) and onto their software
products.

I am aware that SGI was letting others provide much of the manpower
needed to push the VRML standard onward, but have they actually decided
to abandon this sffort? I still see SGI personnell contributing to
VRML mail. Also, what is SGI without 3D file formats?
