Recovered from the Info-Mac Archive, although originally spotted on
Mac GUI.

Original file (second download) contains a damaged self-expanding
DiskDoubler file. I was able to repair the file and extract its
contents in Mini vMac II using DD Verify_Repair (which doesn't seem
run in BasiliskII) and DD Expand. Repackaged the contents as a StuffIt
archive and binhexed using DropStuff 5.5 (first download).

If anyone has Pixar Showplace, please upload! The following contains
some info about it:
<https://community.renderman.pixar.com/page/showplace.html>

To clarify, the 2.0 version number refers to the fact that this
development kit is for use with Showplace version 2.0. The kit itself
is version 1.0.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

From the ReadMe:

> To compile Rib Generator Plug-Ins, you must have Think C version 5.0
> or later. Other development environments are not directly supported,
> but it shouldn't take much work to adapt the supplied source files
> to work in another environment.
>
> To execute any plug-ins you build, you must have a copy of Showplace
> 2.0 or later installed on your system.
