FoundationClasses and got somewhat into ModellingData but was unsure as
to whether any of my efforts would be worthwhile as I had left a trail
of unanswered warnings in my wake. I think I like your solution better.
What you have provided is a treasure chest of data which I will greatly
enjoy studying!

directory?

Hi Gus - I'm not sure what "CAS-6.2" is... You can download the 
patched+unpatched version of the original OCC sources from the 
gmsh/beta/occ directory.

Let me know if the build instructions in doc/README.occ need updating.

I am using Windows XP Home and selected a complete install using "java -verbose -jar setup.jar" as install.csh didn't work for some reason. Therefore, would it be possible for someone to send me a list of the files I need to build from sources so I can check this against my current installation. Equally as good would be any ideas as to why my install is incomplete and any possible remedial action.  I have posted a similar request on the OCC forums and have sought help from their technical department which I am still waiting on.
