What about if you have the 6 faces? Does it join them into 1 (like Live
Picture Cube viewer) or use them seperately like a vrml viewer?

How have the seams been addressed? In Live Picture, it appears as though the
faces overlap each other slightly (1%). (I'm assuming that this was done to
elliminate twitching along the seam). The net result is that the maps on the
faces do not line up precisely. This is most noticable where the top meets
the sides. I find it unacceptable.
