The author wrote back: hmmm, that's not so good. it works better with the IRIX version of Cosmo. i know it works with NS 3.01 + cosmo 1.0beta3a; i know it crashes with NS4.0 + Cosmo1.0.1. the other combos (and IE) i'm not sure of. the whole experience has been so frustrating; coding around all kinds of Netscape bugs, VRML browser bugs and unimplemented features, unclear parts of the VRML spec which led to incompatible VRML browser features, etc. so much for open standards. --- Even super-hyped technologies like Java and VRML are having these problems...
