Note: use "uncompress" on any file that has a ".Z" suffix, and 
"tar xvf" on any file with a ".tar" suffix.

All of these files refer to Inventor 2.0, which requires IRIX 5.2 and
an OpenGL-capable machine (anything except for VGX(T), GT(X), PI).


MultiSample.tar.Z
-----------------

This is a source code example of how to specify a multisample-capable
visual so that Inventor will do multisample anti-aliasing.  This
requires a RealityEngine and IRIX 5.3 (it relies on the
SGIS_multisample extension; see the glXintro and glIntro man pages for
more details).

Source only.


Optimizing_Apps.ps.Z
--------------------

This document describes how to maximize the performance of your
Inventor scenes and applications.  It replaces the "Inventor
Performance Tips" guide.

Document.


ivperf.tar.Z
------------

ivperf is a utility that analyzes the performance of your scene
graphs, looking for common performance problems.  It is designed to be
used with the "Optimizing Open Inventor Applications" guide.  Source
only, requires the Open Inventor Developer's option to compile.

Source only.


quickRef.ps.Z
-------------

This document is a quick-reference guide to all standard Inventor nodes.
It is in PostScript format, compressed.

Document.


InventorBNF.ps.Z
----------------

A BNF description of Inventor's ASCII file format syntax, as a
PostScript document.

Document.


translator.ps.Z
---------------

This document describes how to write a program that translates between
the Open Inventor file format and another format.  It is in PostScript
format, compressed.

Document.


SpaceCadet.tar.Z
----------------

Blow things up and recharge your energy as you fly through tunnels on
a futuristic flight schoold training mission.
Do the following to extract the game:
   uncompress SpaceCadet.tar.Z
   tar xvf SpaceCadet.tar
To run SpaceCadet:
   cd SpaceCadet; ./SpaceCadet

Executable and data files only.


drop.tar.Z
----------

Maneuver the pieces as the fall to the floor. Completely fill a layer for
more points and a longer game.
Do the following to extract the game:
   uncompress drop.tar.Z
   tar xvf drop.tar
To run drop:
   cd drop; ./drop

Executable only.

linkatron.tar.Z
---------------

Create mechanical linkages! Hook up pistons, motors, and bells
interactively. Start the motors and watch your contraptions contrapt!
Read the Help card for instructions. 
Do the following to extract the game:
   uncompress linkatron.tar.Z
   tar xvf linkatron.tar
To run linkatron:
   cd linkatron; ./linkatron

Executable and data files only.

maze.tar.Z
----------

Roll the ball through the maze! Tilt the maze using the mouse, but be
careful not to let the ball fall into a hole. Press the '1', '2', or
'3' keys to play the tough, very tough, or ultra-tough maze.
Do the following to extract the game:
   uncompress maze.tar.Z
   tar xvf maze.tar
To run maze:
   cd maze; ./maze

Executable and data files only.

pbn.tar.Z
---------

Logic and reason are your only friends as try to reconstruct images.
The numbers you see are clues that help you fill in the grid. Read the 
Help cards for directions.
Do the following to extract the game:
   uncompress drop.tar.Z
   tar xvf drop.tar
To run drop:
   cd drop; ./drop

Executable and data files only.

puck.tar.Z
----------

Use the space-bar to shoot energy bursts at the puck and slap it into
your opponent's goal. Use the mouse to skate left and right (left/right
button), or up and down (middle button). To play against a human
opponent, see the README file. 
Do the following to extract the game:
   uncompress puck.tar.Z
   tar xvf puck.tar
To run puck:
   cd puck; ./puck

Executable and data files only.

slotcar.tar.Z
-------------

Race around in a slotcar! Try to beat your opponents, but... be careful
not to fly off the track or crash into anyone else. 
Do the following to extract the game:

----------------

Creates color random-dot-stereograms from any Inventor .iv file.

Executable and source.

WWNodes.shar
------------

A shar archive of a very quick hack to get VRML-like functionality
using Inventor.  VRML is "Virtual Reality Modeling Language", and is
being proposed as a standard for describing 3D scenes across the
world-wide-web.  Visit the VRML home page at http://vrml.wired.com/
for more information.

Source only.

qv1.0.tar.Z
-----------

QvLib is source code for parsing VRML-format files.  VRML is an
extended subset of the Open Inventor ASCII file format, and is quickly
becoming the standard way of describing object and worlds on the World
Wide Web.  Visit http://vrml.wired.com/ for more information.
