Happy Halloween all,

	As promised, 3D Reality shipped today. If you are like me, when  
you want something, you want it right away. Well, here it is...

	Since Reality is a totally "earthwise"* product, with complete  
on-line, context-sensitive help, you can pick it up from cs.orst or sonata  
[currently in the submissions directory on both of these sites]. It will  
operate in demo mode [total functionality less ability to save or copy]  
until it is registered. 

	For us hacker types, it also comes with a complete API so you can  
add shape modules to Reality. Several bundle examples show you how to  
program these shapes. It also comes with source code to 18 shaders, so you  
can learn to write your own shaders as well.
	
	It is also available in pub/stone on unmvax.cs.unm.edu as  
3D_Reality.tar.

TO INSTALL:

0. 	tar xf 3DReality.tar
		This will create a directory containing four packages:

    a. 	3DReality.pkg
	This is the application itself. Install in ~/Apps or
	/LocalApps
	
    b. 	3DRealityShaders.pkg
	This contains useful Shaders and Textures that can
	be used with Reality or any other modeler. Install
	in /LocalLibrary or ~/Library
	
    c. 	3DReality_API.pkg
	This contains docs, headers and example source so
	you can build extensions to 3D Reality.

    d. 	3DReality_Samples.pkg
    	This package has demo files for 3D Reality: several documents,
	shapes, and shaders.

1.	Run Installer.app to install the packages you desire.

2.	Launch the application, open the License... panel from the Info  
menu and register the program using your registration number, or hit  
"Demo" and run the program in demo mode. Demo mode allows the full  
functionality of the program, except for the ability to copy or save.


	To purchase this program, call Stone Design at 505-345-4800 from
