Mario, In the paragraph before my statement I was quoting Paul, who woundered if Blackdown could develope the Java3D API further: > > What about Blackdown ?

If Blackdown did develop the API further then it would NOT be cross platform in the sense that it would not work under windows unless somebody developed a corrosponding windows implementation of these advancements. It's all hypothetical regardless because Blackdown probably can't legally do that anyway (althoughI am sure they would be capable).
