NAME comp.soft-sys.wavefront   STATUS unmoderated   CHARTER Discussions of a technical nature for people who use the entire  spectrum of software products from Wavefront Technologies, Santa Barbara CA, including The Advanced Visualizer,  The Data Visualizer, The Video Composer, Dynamation, Kinemation, Advanced Paint etc. It is intended for users with all levels of experience, so that the inexperienced can learn  from the those with more experience.    RATIONALE High end animation and visualization systems have reached a  point where they are so powerful, that it takes months if not years to master the software. Companies such as Wavefront have very good technical support hot lines, but often you need to  speak with someone who actually uses the product in a production  environment. There are thousands of Wavefront users on every  continent and we need a way to communicate with each other. The perfect solution is a newsgroup that is carried on the main  backbone.   CALENDAR The discussion period will be from September 11th to October 11th. If there are no serious problems, the first CFV should be on or about October 12th, 1993, and the voting period will last 22 days.
