                            Liquid Reality 0.96

You should unpack the Liquid Reality archive in your Java directory.
libice.so will be added to the lib/sparc directory; the ice classes will
be in classes; and Liquid Reality demos are in directories called demo/lr
and demo/ice.

This version of Liquid Reality should work fine with the JDK 1.0 and the
JDK beta 2.  It has been tested on SparcStations with 8 and 24 bit frame
buffers.  Liquid Reality will definitely not work on mono displays.

To view the demos, go to the demo/ice directory and type:

    appletviewer cube.html

This should bring up a window containing a multicolored cube that you can
rotate by dragging your mouse.  If this works, try the Liquid Reality browser
demo.  To start the browser, go to the demo/lr directory and type:

    appletviewer viewer.html

Type the URL of a VRML file in the text entry field at the top of the browser
window.  A sample VRML files is included with this distribution.  To view
it, type in the URL 'file:test.wrl'

You can walk around through the world by dragging your mouse on the view
window.  There are controls for viewing mode, rendering quality, motion,
and headlight brightness beneath the view window.  Enabling motion doesn't
do anything unless you've loaded a VRML file that contains animations.

Here are some cool VRML files to load with the Liquid Reality browser:
