 * Description:
---------------

Rhinoceros stores a preview bitmap for 3dm files. This is typically shown in
the File-Open dialog of Rhinoceros.

The Rhinoceros Preview plugin shows the embedded preview bitmap of Rhino 3-D
models. It can also be used for the thumbnail view of Total Commander 6.5 and
later.

Extracting the preview bitmap does not require Rhinoceros to be installed.
