I don't know of a newer version, but you might write to the author; he's no longer at math.princeton.edu as mentioned in vcs' READ.ME but is now at: sullivan at geom.umn.edu. Conversion doesn't look difficult and he might be willing to do it. > I've also tried to import some .off files I have, but after > looking though the documentation a bit, I'm not sure that > your OFF and the standard .off files (both named object > file format) are compatible.

Our OFF format is just adapted from one used by some people at Princeton. What's the "standard" format for off files, and whose standard is it? How widely is it used, as far as you know? It's conceivable that we could make a future version of geomview read them directly, if it seemed worth while. Stuart Levy
