README for swcToVrml2.0.bat and associated files 2/14/2012 Todd Gillette

This program will convert an SWC file into a WRL file, specifically in the VRML2.0 format.

This can be run via the command line with the swc file name(s) as an input, or simply by drag and drop. Simply select the swc file(s) you wish to convert to VRML (i.e. a .wrl file), then drag and drop (release) it over swcToVrml2.0.bat. You will see a command window open and some status information appear. Shortly thereafter the command window will close and a .wrl file will appear with the same name as the swc file (but with the .wrl extension) in the Swc2WrlWinPackage directory. Multiple files can be dropped in at the same time.
