   I have installed VRweb version 1.0b4 in outland as vrweb. VRweb is a
VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) viewer, meant to be used in
conjunction with a WWW browser in most cases.  On all platforms but
the SGI, vrweb uses the mesa OpenGL-alike library. (vrweb is symlinked
to vrweb-mesa.)  On the SGI the default version uses OpenGL, so this is
a symlink to vrweb-ogl. To have your web browser spawn VRweb automagically,
add the following line to your ~/.mailcap :

x-world/x-vrml; vrweb %s;

(You must first have added outland. Alternately, you can specify the full
path to vrweb.)

  VRweb is installed for all 6 major platforms.
