There is also a home page for the ftp site: URL: ftp://ftp.hitl.washington.edu/pub/scivw/WWW/scivw.html This Digest is archived at the sci.virtual-worlds archive site, URL: ftp://ftp.hitl.washington.edu/pub/scivw/Digests/ Toni Emerson Moderator, sci.virtual-worlds http://www.hitl.washington.edu/people/diderot ---------------------------------START OF DIGEST------------------------------ From: temerson@hitl.washington.edu Date: February 9, 1996 ADMIN: PGSI Support Organization: HIT Lab Sometimes postings get lost in the ether(net). This is a case in point. A posting dated Feb. 8th was slated to be in this digest. The question was whether or not there was still support for the Powerglove Serial Interface (PGSI) from the Special Interest Group for Computer Architecture at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. Technical support is provided by pgsi@uiuc.edu. The person posting indicated that he had emailed support, receiving to be what appeared to be a form letter reply. The PGSI FAQ is at: http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/sigarch/pgsi/pgsifaq.html However, it is dated. For example, it mentions the GLOVE-LIST that was administered by J.E.Townsend, but no longer exists. It also mentioned sci.virtual-words.apps which has been defunct for a couple years. The ftp site is also mentioned as a good source, however at the ftp site mentioned: ftp://ftp.cso.uiuc.edu/ I couldn't find the directory /ACM/PGSI, much less the README file. So, that's all I know.

In otherwords I am in search of the glove that outputs the most information.
