========================================================================

   I.  Merry Christmas to all the users from all of us in the SFI Hive.

  II.  3 Dimensional Space contrib

   A 3D space class was contributed has been contributed by Glen
Ropella.  It is called Discrete3d and is the same as Discrete2d in
every sense except that it has the extra dimension.  There is also a
demonstration app included in the tar file, which consists of two
directories: 3dDemo/ and 3dLib/.  The installation instructions are
contained in the READ.ME in the 3dLib directory.

   This was contributed as a User contrib instead of a kernel library
because the space library is to be reanalyzed for generality and
consistency with the rest of the libraries at some later date.
However, many people asked for a 3d space in the user survey; so, one
was generated that is consistent with the current space library.

   Comments are welcome and may be sent to address@hidden
