Um: No problem here with Exceed 6 on NT with a Matrox Productriva G100
displaying spin from S-PLUS 3.4 on Solaris 2.6. I suspect either
Exceed (what version?) or the graphics adapter is the problem. I don't
see any problems on a Sun X server either.

The official URL is now
http://www.research.att.com/areas/stat/xgobi/
although the old one still works.

Just get http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/SWin/xgobi.zip. This gives me the
opportunity to say that this was updated a few days ago to the June 1999
version of XGobi.
