Dear Bene- I ran your new plugin and it told me that I was running 1.3  
Java3D and then downloaded and installed perfectly.  The plugin now  
works.  Thanks for you efforts.  I still don't understand where the  
old version came from and why it was not updated by OS updates, but at  
least it is fixed.  Thanks for your efforts.  Dave
