WorldsChat is the wrong thing to be looking at on worlds.net. =
AlphaWorld is what you need to be looking at. To enter AlphaWorld you =
need to down load the (4+ meg) VRML interface they make available there =
for downloading, (windows/windows-95 only I believe). If you've been =
looking at WorldsChat you've been looking at the wrong product.

WorldsChat is not at all VRML... there is a circle of staircases (all =
going
UP) ... when you go around them, you end up in the same place... I =
thought
VRML was a little more realistic... It also seems that the 3d info is
stored on the local machine... meaning it cannot be flexible... You =
can't
add new rooms unless all the users re-download the 4-meg install =
programs.
