I'm with you, Doc. Although I often check the source of HTML I
admire, when it comes time to produce, I start with the ideas
I have produced from that inspiration. If an HTML editor provides
a useful template, fine, but just because browsers (and I use this
feature with mixed feelings) allow the source to be displayed,
doesn't mean YOUR page is MY template. I should start with a
purchased template or a blank page...period. Why should VRML
be any difserent? Besides...not enough free models at Viewpoint
for you?
*MM*
BTW, I know some person out of purely financial motivation will
write the converter anyway...so I offer them fresh "RAZZ"BER-
RIES in advance.
