Thank you Garry,
This Java stuff is from Livepicture. They used to sell authoring software
that would stitch pictures and would publish them in a html page for you,
including hotspots. It was all very simple. Livepicture is no more and I
lost their software. I may use these java files and html as a start if I
can't manage to convert the panorama's to qtvr.
About the RS viewer: I have not written directly to Realsoft about the
problems that I encountered. I expect they are aware of them however, the
topic has had sufficient exposure on the list.
Kind regards and thanks for the files,
Frank Bueters
