Being a superset of VRML, Inventor 2.1 can read VRML files.
Performer 2.0 will ship with a loader that can read Inventor
2.1 files.

The Inventor loader for Perfomer 1.2 on sgigate.sgi.com has
not yet been updated to Inventor 2.1, but it's not a big job
to do so. (In case anyone with Inventor 2.1 wants to DIY
and port the loader back to Performer 1.2, I just put the
source code to the Perfomer 2.0 / Inventor 2.1 loader as
ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/pub/Performer/src/pf2.0iv2.1.tar.Z).

Alternately, you can edit the header of the VRML file to lie
and say that it's really an Inventor 2.0 file......but your
mileage will definitely vary.
