Acme Labs Java Software

These excellent Java classes were downloaded from Jef Poskanzer's ACME Laboratories. The ACME Labs home page is at http://www.acme.com/ and includes some remarkably useful freeware.

In addition to the Acme class library, i have also downloaded and packaged up a few of Jef's Java applications. These include :

WebCat
fetch URLs and write them to stdout
WebList
make a list of the files in a web subtree
WebCopy
copy a remote web subtree to the local disk
WebGrep
search a web subtree for a pattern
WebPost
post a web query and write the results to stdout
ToPpm
dump out an image URL as PPM
ToGif
dump out an image URL as GIF
Also included is the Java application wrapper script JavaWrapper and a sample shell script i wrote called webget which front-ends the action of WebCat.

The Acme class library gets extracted, by default, into /usr/local/java/Acme. The Java applications get extracted into /usr/local/java and the shell script wrappers get extracted into /usr/local/bin.

The JavaWrapper script checks to see if your CLASSPATH environment variable is set. If not, it sets it to /usr/local/java. If set, it checks to see if /usr/local/java is a component and, if not, appends that.

Many other useful and fun things are at ACME Laboratories.

If you have questions about the packaging of these classess, you may address them to me, Ron Record, via rr@ronrecord.com.

Jasmin - Java Assembler Interface

Jasmin is a Java Assembler Interface. It takes ASCII descriptions for Java classes, written in a simple assembler-like syntax and using the Java Virtual Machine instruction set. It converts them into binary Java class files suitable for loading into a JVM implementation.

Description
VRwave is a freely available browser for 3D worlds and scenes modeled in VRML 2.0 (the latest version of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language). It is being developed by the Institute for Information Processing and Computer Supported New Media (IICM) of Graz University of Technology, Austria, the team who brought you the VRweb VRML 1.0 browser. Visit http://www.iicm.edu/ for information about the IICM.


VRwave is the only free VRML browser available in full source code which does not require commercial packages such as Inventor or Motif and which will run on (almost) any Unix or Windows platform. For more information on VRwave, visit http://www.iicm.edu/vrwave . The new name VRwave is intended to distinguish the VRML 2.0 browser written largely in Java from VRweb, which was written in C++. In terms of look and feel, VRwave is a direct successor to VRweb. For more information about VRweb, visit http://skunkware.dev/skunkware/x11/viewers/ .
Productivity
This program displays VRML 2.0 files for the user to manipulate. When used with a web browser, such as Netscape or Mosaic, this 3D viewer allows access to the increasing number of web sites offering virtual reality content and to the advanced HyperWave servers (formerly known as "Hyper-G"). HyperWave servers represent the next generation web solution for publishing rich hypermedia documents in the Internet's World Wide Web and internal TCP/IP networks. For more information about HyperWave, visit http://www.hyperwave.de/.
Work Planned
None
Documentation
Preliminary on-line help for VRwave is included in the archive "Common-VRwave-0.9-Unix.tar.gz". For additional information, view the VRweb User Guide at http://www.iicm.edu/vrweb/help .
Verification
Run "vrwave filename &" (or "$VRWAVE_HOME/vrwave filename &"), where filename is any VRML 2.0 file. If VRweb (the C++ predecessor of VRwave) is executed, it will automatically invoke VRwave when a VRML 2.0 file is encountered. Both VRML 1.0 and VRML 2.0 files have a file suffix of ".wrl".
Known Limitations
Currently, VRwave for Unix is unable to process VRML 1.0 files. For more information, visit http://hiwaay.net/~crispen/vrml/faq.html#q2.
