Another Cobalt/Linux Experience

Hi,
my name is Thomas Braun and I'm following the development of Croquet since
"Jasmine" :)

I run Cobalt under Ubuntu-Linux 7.10 with a NVidia FX-5200 and the drivers from
NVidias web page. All works fine so far, allthough the "Collaborative" was
further advanced and offered more features. One thing I missed most was the
VRML importer, because I have  some beloved selfmade VRML models from old days.
For model creation I use ArtOfIllusion.org but I couldn't manage to get its
.OBJ exports to be loaded into Cobalt, so I always export to VRML'97.

I have successfully revived to VRML importer in Cobalt and extended the "Thing"
loader to show .WRL files and import them into Cobalt.

BTW: Why can't I move an imported VRML object around like the results from the
TPainter?

cheers...
Th.Braun
