[Nel] pointers on documentation?

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 16:02:21 +0100

Hi David,
+
+We have started a kind of "NeL Programmer Guide". You can acces it from
+http://www.nevrax.org/docs/doxygen/nel/pages.html We have some topics there,
+but nothing about MOT (Model Observer Traversal) yet. The guide grow up with
+the
+code so stay tuned!
+
+For information, MOT is inspired by Java 3d architecture.
+
+Bye.
