Hi Bill- Thanks a bunch for shooting the LPARSER package to me.. seems very interesting from looking at the docs, but I can't get LP.EXE or LV.EXE to run.. I don't have the DOS4GW.EXE that it says it runs with. If that only comes with Watcom (a high-end C compiler?), then I don't have that, either, I'm afraid. I am very interested in checking out software that "assembles" life forms from user-supplied parameters (or anything remotely related, for that matter..); however, some of my approach in this general idea is from a more free- associating artistic standpoint. I tend to tilt more towards the "right brain" mode (whatever THAT is..<g>) & like to paint pictures & animations, although I have struggled to learn some programming techniques (GRASP, Turbo C etc.) which I now & then by some strange trick of fate get results from.. Am I right that I need Watcom? (or is there something staring me in the face that I'm overlooking..<g>) Best regards & thanx, John Gummere =SP= PS- I also tried to load the OUTPUT.DXF file into 3DS, but it just sat there.
