 > 1. Is this the latest vertion of geoview?

No. The latest version of Geomview is 1.5, which is more recent than
your 1.3 version. You can get it via anonymous ftp from geom.umn.edu
in the directory pub/software/geomview, or through the World Wide Web
from http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/download/geomview.html.

Yes. There are two possible data formats to use. The VECT format is
explicitly intended for drawing lines. Also, you can also have an OFF
object where the "faces" are specified as having 2 vertices. Such
degenerate faces are treated as lines. (In fact, if you specify faces
which consist of one vertex, points are drawn.) Below is an example of
a line drawn from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1) in both ways:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
line.vect:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VECT
1 2 0
2
0
0 0 0
1 1 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------
line.off
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFF
2 1 1
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 	0 1

Both the VECT and OFF formats are introduced in the oogltour document,
and are fully documented in the manual.
