[X3D-Public] Announcement: view3dscene 3.8.0

[Joe D Williams]

OK, Great, that made it work as I expected in Instant also.
Hopefully Octaga, Xj3D, Freewrl and others will agree and people can 
start to use this amazing set of capabilities.

I think this is real important and shows that the basics are fairly 
simple and reliable.
Sorry to be so dense on this, it has been real foggy here.

Now, what about HAnim Displacer? I think BSContact was holding up some 
work in order to get some agreement about how to do it. .

Thanks Again,
Joe
