Kevin, from what Gary said your expectation that it would operate similarly to 3DS SLAVE is exactly right on target. I would think you would be able to output in either SGI file format or PC native formats. There are a whole bunch of free programs to do conversions like this if necessary. I hope however that the program will recognize the IPAS that you have installed on your system and convert them so that the SGI knows what to do. I would think it would be a nightmare to have to rewrite IPAS to work on SGI in slave mode. I seriously doubt very many people would have the skill to do it. And that if that was the case there could be some serious problems and might even kill its potential. But we shall see. -JE
