OK, the castor site has changed to a completly new site last week! The page you are quoting seems to be the right page for downloading Castor. I have updated the link on our installation page. I assume that the pointer to your link is obsolete too. I agree that the configure file should now refer to castor and not rfio.

We want to provide the same functionality as we do now with the normal TPad. We are also considering a TPadGL class that could be embedded in a normal canvas. > * Would it be possible to hide the light sources too? Ofcourse, > one can simply turn them off, but that removes the light too. There are still many things to do with the lights. We are currently designing important extensions to the GL viewer to load dynamically the GL scene whenever a mouse event is triggered and also giving the possibility to the user to move around the scene (as opposed to the user rotating the scene). The lights are somehow connected to this problem. > * In the attached script (a simplified version of the the ALICE > FMD3 geometry), the XTRU objects are not drawn right when you > look from the nose of the support cone, while they look find > when viewed from the back of the cone.
