We've gotten 2 reports that Xj3D is having difficulty
displaying on Mac systems, and are investigating.

Normally the feature Help > Check for Updates menu works
for the standalone application.

However we have found during major revisions of Netbeans
(in this case, from 6.9 to 6.9.1) that updates are ignored.

If that is case for you, simply delete your prior standalone
installation and again download/unzip/run the new version.

If you would also like to get rid of prior preferences or
settings, there are utility scripts to do that.  On my system:

	C:\installs\X3D-Edit3.2

	removeX3D-EditPreferencesMac.sh.command
	removeX3D-EditPreferencesUnix.sh
	removeX3D-EditPreferencesWinVista.bat
	removeX3D-EditPreferencesWinXP.bat

	runX3dEditMac.sh.command
	runX3dEditUnix.sh
	runX3dEditWindows.bat

Thanks Terence and CH for the testing and run reports.

all the best, Don
