I have heard about a couple of packages that may or may not be
available.  One is called RA, and it is a 3-D display package 
that John Vries (sp?) at Children's Hospital in Pittsburg
developed (on a sun?).

The other is a set of algorithms more than a package,  per se,
and it is called SPIDER, or something like that.  I may recall
that I heard someone called John Webb at CMU might have had this...
(talk about confidence!)

Has anyone heard of these?  Are they available in any form?

Thanks...
