(This is the same email you send a month ago? Maybe my reply got lost
somewhere, so repeating it here --- with some updates on being
consortium member.)

Not yet. Reading the docs on http://www.web3d.org/membership/join/, it's
a little scary (for a single developer like me, without any
"corporation" behind). I know the fees aren't large for my case, and
other consortiums like Khronos or W3C have the same membership rules.
It's just not something I'm comfortable with, for an open standard.

For now I just prefer to submit any comments through this public mailing
list.

You mean, passing the filename to open on the command-line? It should
definitely work, under all platforms including windows. If it doesn't,
please check exactly what you pass on the command-line, if any error
appears --- please write what.

If you want to pass the scene through stdin, you should specify on the
command-line "-" (single dash). In this case input must be in classic
encoding for now (this can be easily improved for future release, if
needed).
