Virtek has just released a new VRML 1.0 Netscape plugin Beta.  It
handles really big files. Huge architectural files work well.  The
speed increase over other plugins is geometric with polygon count and
exponential with node count. Of course, the speed difference is
infinite beyond, say, 12,000 polys since no other browser seems able
to crunch the big ones.

The plugin is called Zeus and it is for Intel Win95 or NT only.

Please find it at:
