Mailing the Performer list to ask how to use something other than Performer
=8-0

You really don't want to convert anything to YAODL, it's obsolete. It's nearest
and superior relation would be Inventor I guess but actually if you already
have .flt and .bgf why not use use some of the apps in
/usr/share/Performer/src/pguide/libpf for example simple.c is only 149 lines of
code and will read your models and display them.
