Dear Xiao,

Yes I am aware of the project that you are working on with the Cytokine
database.

JMVS will be just fine for this but remember that the target PC still needs
to have Java3D installed. I would like to see Java3D become part of the Java
core which will then mean that all web browsers will come with it built-in.
I am sure this will happen as Java3D gains popularity.

Well, I suppose I can give you a pre-release of version 2.0 which supports
everything in 1.0.1 and some more. If you give me a few days then I will get
a a pre-release ready for you and to you before next Tuesday.

Yes, you will need to install the Java3D implementation for Solaris from the
Java3D page at http://java.sun.com and also the Java1.2 Runtime Environment
Plugin (needed for Java extensions other than the core Java platform which
Java3D is).

Let me know if this suits you,

Best Regards
