Run them through a program capable of uncompressing GZip files. Winzip or similar should be good enough if you are on a Windows box. Unfortunately, this situation arose due to some short-sightedness in the earlier VRML days. AFAIK, none of the VRML loaders support the automatic detection of gzip-encoded content and automatically decompress it before parsing. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Java Architect & Bit Twiddler http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
