>everything seems to be working, except for the 3D part. I have installed >java3D (OpenGL). what else is needed to access the 3D feature? As long as you have installed Java3D to the JRE subdirectory of your JDK installation, Java3D support should work automatically. The fact that you were able to compile VisAD without errors shows that you have Java3D installed correctly. What happens when you try to run a 3-D application? If you are getting an exception, please send it to the list. If you are seeing a corrupted display (e.g., the window is filled with random white lines or polygon fragments), then there are bugs in your OpenGL drivers. You can fix it by updating your video card drivers to the latest version. If you already have the latest version of your card's drivers, then there are still OpenGL bugs, and you can use Microsoft's Windows 95 OpenGL drivers available at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/OPENGL95.EXE. However, these drivers do not support hardware acceleration, and thus your 3-D displays will be slow to update. -Curtis
