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.

Now, if you're just dying to know what INFJ stands for, be brave, e-mail me,
and I'll send you some information.  It WILL be worth the inquiry, I think.
