Subject: 3-d graphics for psychology experiments
Sorry to say that I lost the original message while cleaning the file,
but someone wanted to know about 3-d graphics programs for representing
relationships in psychology studies. A number of computer-assisted
drafting and design (CADD) programs should do the job. Although AutoCAD
(release 10 only for 3-d) is the best know, it's expensive and probably
overkill. One should be able to find a half-dozen or more PC programs
which can handle 3-d positioning adequately. Be sure to have fully
3-dimensional locations supported (and enterable from the keyboard);
colors and layers would be helpful I suspect; attributes and blocks
would also be helpful. It will take some time be locate the *right*
program, but, in the process, I think one may find that a good program
will provide some surprising benefits and make possible some new ways of
looking at the relationships.

Although David Bantz will probably want to supply more specific
information, let me quickly answer J.C. Baker's "plea for help" of 31
Jan. There's an impressive CD-ROM/Mac stack program called "Hansi
Assistant" that humanities computing administators, programmers,
teaching assistants and Chinese scholars have been working on for the
past few years. It has just been released by Dartmouth College.
