[x3d-public] Fwd: got VRML 98 duck? comp.lang.vrml FAQ

[Don Brutzman]

Wow, the comp.lang.vrml FAQ!

Can someone ask current host for copy, or else do a "screen scrape" to pull down all the pages?

* comp.lang.vrml FAQ
   http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/public_html/ruiz/vrml_stuff/Comp.lang.vrml.faq

This is a fundamental resource that we should capture and save properly in the X3D archives.
