Will,
If you have an sgi you can use ivcat
ivcat < binaryfile.iv > asciifile.iv
to get an ascii version. This works for
Inventor V2.1 which is a superset of VRML 1.0;
BUT the java loaders probably exist only for VRML 2.0
(correct me if I'm wrong) and will not work for VRML 1.0
since they use different node names and groupings.
If the file is not too complex you can make the
translation by hand, otherwise your need to find a translator.
