I'm considering purchasing a 3d package and am looking for some user reaction. I saw Swivel 3d at MacWorld and it looked really good. Any feelings on it as compared to Super 3D or others? I would ideally use this program with MacroMind Director. thanks... Thomas Summerall thomas@eleazar.dartmouth.edu

You don't say what you want to use it for...do you need a 3d plotting system for CAD, say? If on the other hand you are looking for ways to plot data (statistics) I can recommend the following: SYSDAT's plotting package SYGRAPH, and Mathmatica. Both will let you plot nice 3-D perspective plots. SYGRAPH gives you the ability to label data points, and Mathmatica can do animated plots. Another package, DataDesk, lets you do 3D "constellation" plots that you can easily rotate, expand and contract. But it doesn't let you label data points in any really USEFUL way. Greg Sandell
