[a line to be eaten]
    Here's a question to the CAD 3D owners out there...  I don't have CAD 3D
yet, and while I am interested in getting it eventually, right now I'm more
interested in getting objects created with it--I'm working on a system here at
my school with some really wonderful graphics hardware but virtually no
pre-drawn objects, and a pretty crummy CAD program.  What I'd like to do is
take object files from CAD 3D and run them through a converter to convert them
to the file format my system needs.  Here's the question:  does  anyone have
info (or does the CAD 3D documentation) on the format of CAD3D files?  Question
two:  does anybody know where libraries of CAD 3D objects (preferably PD) can
be had?  I'd really appreciate this  information.

P.S.  I'd be interested in getting objects from any other 3D wireframe CAD
      programs out there (along with file/object formats), so if you have the
      info (even if it's not on an ST), I'd really like to hear from you.
