The biggest problem that I see is the communication between the Unix box and Win98 machine. Since Win98 and Unix have no network protocols in common I feel that we are at an impass.

Since we cannot use SMB under Unix or NFSd under Win98 I don't see how the communication can take place.

One thing I thought about was using natd to route FTP communications around the Unix box directly to the Win98 box. If an extra external IP is available the Unix box could virtualize this IP and natd could redirect FTP on the virtualized IP to the Win98 box running the MS-FTP service. But, that would call for software installation on the Unix box (natd) and on the Win98 box (IIS/FTP, which aren't installed by default on Win98 IIRC).

I guess there could always use a null-modem cable between the two boxes and use pppd (which might be currently installed on the Unix box) and have the Win98 contact the Unix box on the null-modem cable. Maybe something could be worked out. That wouldn't count as a bastardized solution would it? Smilie

NAME
genrbox - generate a RADIANCE description of a box SYNOPSIS
genrbox mat name xsiz ysiz zsiz [ -i ][ -r rad | -b bev ] DESCRIPTION
Genbox produces a RADIANCE scene description of a parallelepiped with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at (xsiz, ysiz, zsiz). The sides of the box will be parallel to the three coordinate planes. The surfaces that make up the box will be modified by mat and their identifiers will begin with name. The -i option can be used to produce a box with inward directed surface normals. The -r option can be used to specify the radius for rounded edges. The -b option can be used to specify the indentation for beveled edges. EXAMPLE
To produce a rectangular box made of wood with beveled edges: genrbox wood box1 5 8 3 -b .5 > box1 AUTHOR
Greg Ward BUGS
Because spheres and cylinders are used to construct boxes with rounded edges, a transparent box of this type appears quite messy. SEE ALSO
