True.  However, the newsgroup we make should be for more than
just the glove.  I'm really interested in implementing graphic techniques
(altho not VGA), eyephones, MUDs, VR operating systems, etc...
Eric has mentioned that he doesn't really want all that stuff
on the glove-list, so maybe someone should make another
mailing list for the other-than-glove stuff?

Does anyone know where this software is?

I agree.  Plus, I don't like to lose the feeling of autonomy.
