I just uploaded to netcom.com (192.100.81.100) the VistaPro demo (for the
PC) from Virtual Reality Laboratory. You can get it from netcom.com via
anonymous ftp and is in subdirectory /pub/noring, filename vpdemo.zip
It is compressed using Pkzip 1.1. Try to download it during non-prime time
to reduce the load on netcom, please. The demo is made available to the
Internet with the permission of VRL.
VistaPro is a software package that can realistically render 3-D topographic
images using DEM topographic data. The demo is essentially a slide show;
it is not an actual working demo of the software package. Interesting
nevertheless.
>>> IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HAVE SVGA CAPABILITY TO RUN THE DEMO <<<.
If you don't know how to download files via anonymous ftp, just ask your
sysadmin how to do it, or post a plea for help to Usenet (there is a file
floating around somewhere telling you how to do it.)
---->>> Note: Please don't ask me:
1) how to download via anonymous ftp;
2) how to unzip and run it;
3) to send it to you via e-mail (it is very large, 1.16 M, and I
just don't have the time to mail it in uuencoded format to those
who ask.)
Any requests on these three items will be ignored. Sorry about that.
Enjoy.
