Christopher,

The only VRML browser that looks like supporting the VFX1 in the near
future is VR Creator by VREAM (http://www.vream.com). Their software
is currently in beta stage and there are many of us that have been
waiting a long time for it. Current estimates see it releasing around
August.

As far as toolkits that support the VFX1, you can try VR Explorer by
Themekit (http://www.themekit.com). Their commercial product which
should also output in VRML is due at the end of March. There is of
course Superscape and there may be some support of the VFX1 within WTK
and WorldUp from Sense8 with their new Win95/NT drivers. Forte are
also discussing a new worldbuilder for Win95 with a software group,
but you will have to email support@fortevr.com for more info.

Good luck with your project and please let me know if you come up with 
any further solutions.

Regards,
Jason
