Or do I just launch the installation app, install, restart, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  QTVR stuff -done the hard way
 
I've downloaded the QTVR Edit Object application (only for Macs) from (URL) and it runs fine. I have some POV-ray objects that I want to convert to QTVR. I know how to set up the clock and animation stuff. So far, I've managed to make a simple (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: www.ldraw.org
 
(...) To be sure that you can eventually connect to it try: ping -i 255 www.ldraw.org That is to use the maximum TTL. I tryed it and Got: Reply from 130.226.51.217: bytes=32 time=240ms TTL=227 Which is very near the limit. (...) In Fact the packet (...)

  Re: www.ldraw.org
 
(...) we've seen this problem before... it seems that the ldraw.org site lives in the far depths of the internet. A lot of people seem to need more than 30 "hops" to get to it, and apparently, there's software out there that is just not patient (...)
