I have considered the priorities in this as per the discussion at the Release
Team meeting I attended and have come up with the following priorities:

1. Open Inventor 2.1.1 execution only environment. This is available on a
CD I have as well as on the SGI Web site (see URL below).

2. Cosmo Player 1.0.1. This is only available on the SGI Web site as
far as I know- I haven't seen it on CD. Note that I think this requires
a special SGI-modified version of Netscape 3.0.1 (also available from the
SGI Web site)- I don't think the version of Netscape in the infoagents locker
will work, and Cosmo wants to see it on the local file system, I'm pretty
sure....

Both of these use inst to install and may require specific IRIX 5.3
patches and other packages. Given the extra complication of
2. involving Netscape, I can understand if we have to punt this.

The SGI URL for downloading these is http://www.sgi.com/Products/Evaluation.
Please let me know if you need the Inventor CD, or anything else.
