Nice thought Alex, but if we simply do a node that is either a sphere or
a cylinder or something combining the two and map the environment then
that is more or less all that I care. Don't think I need QTVR for it do I?

And to be honest since I _don't_ have a Mac (and I don't want to have one,
don't want to use one!) how am I meant to try and test this QTVR thing?
I saw the web page and I can imagine how it works...
Now lets see a unix or Win (NT pref) viewer and we can discuss it :-)
Anyone?

Cheers
