You might want to take a look at XDim, it is a Freeware application
that can create 3D views from most 2D files (p.ex. ASCII table, GIF's,
JPEG's etc.). It also exports as VRML files as a bonus.

Available via ftp:

	ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
	/pub/unix/X11/graphics/xdim

	Version 2.6

You need a UNIX box + ANSI C-compiler + X11 + Motif to use it .

P.S. Sorry if you see this twice, but somehow this followup got lost
