LightSpeed Pascal devoted two whole pages to it...

THINK Pascal 2.0 bundled it with the compiler...

THINK Pascal 3.0 did the same and gave it an entry in the index and one line in
the text...

But no one seems to know how to use . . .

		***  Graf3D  ***

If anyone can answer any of the following (via e-mail or posting) I can
summarize to the net if desired:

* How do you use Graf3D?
* Where do you find out about it?
* Is it in a tech note somewhere?
* Is it a good package?

On a larger scale, are there any really good 3D graphics libraries available
for the Mac or do I have to write my own? :-)

I realize that talking about graphics packages can open a hefty can of worms,
but I would like something that can 

* draw lines and polygons
* fill in or shade polygons

and here's the tough one:

* does hidden surface removal

Not knowing much about commercial graphics packages, I don't know what I can
expect, but if you know about any good 3D graphics packages out there please
let me know.  I don't care about color and don't have a coprocessor, but will
take anything in Pascal or C.  Thanks in advance.
