About a month ago I posted a request for information about solids
modelling software, and in particular, asked if anyone knew much about
HOOPS, an object-oriented graphics package. This is a summary of the
responses concerning HOOPS' creators, Ithaca Software (previously
Flying Moose Systems).
First, I want to thank all those who took the time to respond; your
efforts are appreciated.
The only responses I got went like "I know all the people at Flying
Moose and they are of the highest calibre". One person claimed she
knew of someone who was actually using HOOPS, but when I wrote back
asking to be put in contact with the individual, there was no
response. So apparently no one out there reading this newsgroup has
used HOOPS.
In case any of you are interested in my experiences with Ithaca
Software, I have felt like the people there are fairly bright and
interested in putting out a good product, but I have been waiting
about four months now for a demo tape. The last contact I had with
them was over a month ago, at which time I was told I would be getting
the tape real soon. The person who called apologized for being two
weeks behind in returning his phone calls. My gut reaction is that
they either don't want or don't need my business.
