I don't know which one is better, but if NVIZ has most of the functionality of
SG3d, then I see no reason to keep these modules. SG3d was written in SGI's
proprietary graphics library (before OpenGL was released) and thus will only
run on an SGI. Since NVIZ is OpenGL, it will take advantage of any graphics
hardware on an SGI. Therefore, the only reason to keep SG3d would be due to
functionality not in NVIZ. I didn't look carefully at the two programs so I'm
not sure, but I think NVIZ does everything SG3d did and more.
