Re: [Update REQ 6635]: oogl.m for PC

Thanks!  Didn't realize OOGL.m is a text file (which got corrupted
while being transferred from Linux to Windows95), hence downloaded
new source code.  I'm now able to view Mma file (generated in 
Win95) with Geomview (Linux) through WriteChunk.

A curious side note:  Size of graphicobjectfile generated using
WriteChunk is more than 5x bigger than that generated 
(i.e., dumping Mma file into Win95 without using WriteChunk)
and editing said file using wordprocessor (e.g., Word) and 
transferring latter file to Linux Geomview.  It is strange that
WriteChunk added more vertices to the same file.  (Note:  I've
used TWJones ExtendGraphics to create the original pic).  Below is
an actual example of the same file created using WriteChunk versus
editingMmafilebywordprocessor.
