[Vis5d-users] Several questions

Thanks to those that helped me out earlier with compiling the maketopo.c.  I
knew there was something simple and stupid, but didn't realize that it was that
simple.

Of course, getting that compiled didn't help out too much, since I have not been
able to find any information as to what the format for the input file should be,
nor a reference on how to use the command. I am using, for now, a simple
1:250,000 DEM file from the USGS.  I have read from a website at the Univ or
Montana that the header for this has to be chopped out.  What is Vis5d looking
for when importing a file??  Would it possibly be easier to import a simply
x,y,z for the topo, or is the DEM the way to go??
p.s. if anyone out there has some notes on vis5d, would it be possible to get a
glance at them.  I have searched throughout the web for answers to questions,
but no sites really help with the import of files.  Thanks....
