geomview-bin.tar.Z

[munzner]

bad news. it's been packed up incorrectly: it uses our .geomview file
instead of .geomview-dist.  i'm surprised we haven't gotten any mail
about it: i just found this out because i'm at the CS dept graphics
lab at berkeley for the afternoon.

Daeron: animate-bin.tar.Z contains Stuart's shell script not your
version!

about packing up modules: 

1. they should edit the $GEOMROOT/data/.geomview file automatically to
place themselves on the browser list. The unsuspecting installer
should not have to understand the .geomview setup.  This probably
means the installer will have to run a shell sed script after
untarring the binary version. it can just go into the makefile in the
source version.

2. *Test* unpacking both the binary and the source and also make sure
they both run correctly from the geomview applications browser!

More ranting later.

There are some *great* data files and programs we can use here!
