I expect to check in Peter's View Hint implementation and my reading 
code later today, maybe tomorrow.
This allows view hint to passed in memory (Interiors/Modeller use them 
on the clipboard for instance) and
also allows the reading of view hints from files generated by 
QuickDraw3D on OS7/8/9 or classic environment.
I hope to get Peter to write the view hint writing code in the next 
month or so. I have not done anything about
reading View Hints from text files, for me this is almost zero 
priority, and I would have to learn how to do it first.

If my checking in of a partial implementation is undesirable at this 
time I can delay it. I will until I hear from you anyway.

Looks good.
