[ REQ 6024]: geomview on infinite reality

[roseman at dimension4.math.uiowa.edu]

While I was at the meeting last week, a grad student was trying to  
run geomview on our new infinite reality...

He has some problems---I have not had time to look into it so far but  
here is some of the info I have...

Dennis,

Evidentally, Paul has gotten Geomview to compile and run correctly.   
You might
want to pass along his tweaks to your friends at the Geometry Center.

Thanks for offering to help.
