frob 3D viewer 1.0

frob 3D viewer project is a 3D object point/wireframe/polygon viewer - called frob3dv for lack of a better name.

I wrote this version mainly to learn c++. Also it was the first program I wrote after I got a PC (and put linux on it), but it has a long history. Many years ago I wrote a few stacks in Hypercard (on a Mac SE) for editing and displaying 3d shapes. I then ported it to modula-2 , using the free MacMETH compiler, then MOPS, a great free object-oriented programming language and application framework for the mac.

That is where it got most of it's current class hierarchy. At that stage it was still only a wire-frame viewer. I then ported it to c++ for the macintosh using the Macintosh Programmers Workshop. When I wiped Windoze off my PC and put an operating system (linux) on it, I ported it to X and added the polygon drawing.
