For Java3D to work correctly, it must be installed to the JRE subdirectory of
your JDK 1.2 installation.  So, if your JDK is in D:\jdk1.2.1, then you need
to put "D:\jdk1.2.1\jre" as your installation directory when you run the
Java3D installation program.  Actually, there is probably a way to add Java3D
to your java.library.path regardless of where you installed it to, but I do not
know how to do it... it is easier to just install the program into your JDK JRE
subdirectory.

Unfortunately, Spline utilizes native code that only works on Solaris.

Good luck, and let the list know if you have any more trouble.
