Found and fixed a longstanding undetected error in the X3D to (Classic) VRML conversion spreadsheet: prototype instances mistakenly had their name repeated as a field.
Example scene:

http://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/KelpForestExhibit/CircleFishPrototype.x3dv
http://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/KelpForestExhibit/CircleFishPrototype.wrl
original source .x3d excerpt:
<ProtoInstance name='CircleFish'/>
mistakenly/inadvertently translated as:
CircleFish {
name "CircleFish "
}
now correctly translated as:
CircleFish {
}
Please update any local archives you might have.

Trouble reports with VRML97/ClassicVRML test suite examples and conversions are always welcome. We don't have a validator for these, so issues are welcome.
Have fun with VRML97 and ClassicVRML prototypes! 8)
all the best, Don
