Sorry if I implied otherwise. My point was that it is not the primary goal
of QTVR. Or is it?

I thought they were working on this. More strongly, I thought they had it
happening.

It is not inconceivable that when (if?) QTVR gets ported to other platforms,
or clones show up, the VRML browser could launch a QTVR viewer when a QTVR
link was clicked on. That surely would not be too difsicult - and it is
really all that is esquired.
