As much as I hate to say it, I've only been able to find one VRML browser 
for the Mac that's worth anything (Virtus Voyager), and it's still in the 
alpha stages.  On the bright side, it allows Mac users to utilize VRML, but 
it's exceptionally buggy (it tends to crash when exposed to textures, and 
it's really bad about freezing up when working with worlds of over 
450k), and updated versions are hard to come by (Virtus hasn't produced 
a new version in over a month).  In the meantime, while Voyager's not 
the best as far as rendering and moving, it's still the best I've been able 
to find, and it's the _only_ browser I've been able to find for the 
PowerPC.

  Of course, I could be wrong about this:  I'd greatly appreciate hearing 
from anyone who knows of _any_ VRML browser for the Mac.  I'd best 
appreciate a browser that works as well as WebFX for the PC, but until 
that crew produces their Mac browser, I'll take what I can get.

  Cordially,
