Glad to hear it!  My impressions of PHIGS are that it's a fairly large
package, that can only run effectively on a large machine; we (Dave and I)
are focussing our attention on machines that people are likely to have
sitting around the house.  However, I'm sure we can find ways of pooling
our efforts.

I suspect that what we ought to do is start thinking about a protocol for
communicating information about a VR over an arbitrary communications link
(e.g. the Internet, or for that matter high-speed modems or ISDN or
whatever is available).

So am I.  I'll try to get some thoughts down on paper.  Well, not "paper"
as such of course... more like "virtual paper" :-)
