I'm looking for information about Stereo-Lithography .STL files.
.STL files are an interchange format used by Stereo-Lithography
vendors.  It is suppose to be a "standard."  I've been contacting
the vendors and surprizingly they have been little help!?  Can anyone
in comp.graphics netland point me to documents on .STL and/or PD
source code for interchange code.

My application is development of a backend to a solid modeling system
to produce mold patterns.
