Bellj's thesis & UG file formats

[Patrick Nichols <pnichols@graphics.lcs.mit.edu>]

All --

Just a general email about Jason's thesis, life, the universe, and 
everything.  Jason's location server uses 2n + 1 files (flat text) for n 
floors.  There is:

- 1 file with space (room) geometries in 2d, and space names
- 1 file with portal names and linked spaces, as well as location
- a transforms file (rotations, translations, etc)

You can take a look at some of this stuff in: 

  /scratch/pnichols/fake_data

Its worth taking a look at the appendices of Jason's thesis, too - a copy 
of it on the web can be found at:

Ping me with questions.

-Patrick
