USING ESP MODELER
Just bring up the Icon Catalog (Find->Icon Catalog->Applications) and
click on the index tabs to get a list of sections; choose 'ESP' from the
list.
There will be two icons visible - one for the modeler program and another
with a space ship for the 'GL Trek' game. Double-click on either to
start them. The executables are in /usr/esp/bin if you have an aversion
to iconic interfaces.
The modeling program has online help which should be enough to get you
going in the right direction. Ditto for the 'Trek game.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE

KNOWN PROBLEMS
The Inventor import code only recognizes a subset of the format. This
will improve over future releases.

- The tools menu now pops up,
- DXF-import and -export are functional,
- The min/max detail control in the attributes window now work.

CHANGES/FIXES SINCE VERSION 0.97
- New file format support was added. You can now import Inventor-format
files and export RIB (RenderMan(r) by Pixar) files.
- Cut/paste now works between windows. This uses temporary files since
ICCCM stuff is so slow.

popup menu (via right mouse button) does not work...
