| 			=====================


| The Geometry Center announces the availability of release 1.5 of
| Geomview.  Geomview is an interactive viewer for 3-D geometric
| objects.  It allows users to view and manipulate these objects via the
| mouse, the keyboard, and through an interpreted command language.
| This release includes versions for SGI (using GL graphics), NeXTStep
| (requires NeXTStep version 3.0 or higher), and generic Xlib graphics.
| Precompiled binaries are available for SGI, NeXT (m68k/intel/hppa),
| Sun4, HP, Linux, IBM RS/6000 and DEC Alpha platforms.  The source code
| is also available.  These distributions are all in the
| pub/software/geomview directory for anonymous ftp from ftp.geom.umn.edu.
| For more details, and for a list of changes since previous releases of
| Geomview, see the README file in that same directory.

| Geomview is part of an effort at the Geometry Center to provide
| interactive 3D graphics which is well-suited for mathematics
| visualization.  In addition, Geomview is extensible and can serve as a
| general-purpose tool.  Its functionality can be extended in an almost
| unlimited fashion by external modules or programs.


	...I am compiling the source under IRIX 5.3. Would like to compile
the "NDview" module, however I do not have the "-lMi" library on my system,
or at least, as defined, in my "/usr/include..." path. I have compiled 
"geomview 1.5" (also with patch...) with the "make -k install" command...
	... this builds everything BUT a complete "NDview" module. While
the Widget appears, when selecting greater than 3D, geomview dumps core.

	Please advise... "-lMi" available (perhaps I already have it?)?


| Sun OpenWindows Users: you must get the patch file
| "geomview-1.5.0-sun4-patch1.tar.Z" in addition to the distribution
| itself.  (OpenWindows will crash without this patch.)  See the README
| file in pub/software/geomview for details.

| If you want more information about Geomview without having
| to download an entire distribution, point your Web browser at:

|    http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/download/geomview.html

| NOTE: The Geomview development team has very limited resources.  We
| read all mail sent to our support address (software@geom.umn.edu), and
| we try to act on reports of serious problems, but we may not be able
| to respond to each message individually.
