[Therion] CaveView a 3D web viewer

[Bill Gee]

This does look like a nice tool, judging from the demo video.  Of course, 
everything work in theory (and in PowerPoint!).

I think there are two problems with it.  First, as Nick notes, installation is 
daunting.  CaveView requires installation to a running Web server and manual 
editing of HTML files.  It is not a stand-alone application.

Second, the archive files I looked at seem to be incomplete.  I downloaded the 
source code but could not find any file called CaveView.js.  The CSS file 
exists, and there is a sample index.html file that can probably be modified to 
suit.

Henry - What file did you download to get CaveView.js?  I got to this page:

	https://github.com/aardgoose/CaveView.js/releases/tag/1.1.0

and downloaded the tar.gz file for version 1.1.0.  Is this the right file?

I also tried cloning the git repository with this command:

	git clone https://github.com/aardgoose/CaveView.js.git

Good grief, it downloaded over 260 megabytes!  Even that did not have a 
CaveView.js file.
