[ REQ 5177]: OOGL libraries

[dilatush at sccs.swarthmore.edu]

	Hi.  I'm working on some software that uses Geomview and the
associated utilities.  I need a utility that can do "general
manipulations" on OOGL files -- determine what kind they are, break
LIST files into their components, join files into a LIST, and apply
other filters to only certain types (for instance, run offconsol only
on OFF objects, and run anytooff | offconsol on MESH, and neither on VECT).
I want this tool to be as general as possible so it can be used in
many cases.
	I am planning to write this tool.  To save myself a LOT of
work, I'd like to use the OOGL code from Geomview to deal with the
file formats.  Is there any 'all-together' documentation you guys have
around on how the OOGL libraries should be used, or should I just look
at the internal documentation and at the files that use them?  Or am I
heading down the wrong track entirely because there's some tool to do
just what I want and I haven't realized it's there?  Any help would be
appreciated.
