>> Wow, somebody with a sense of humor… << Well Brian, its frequently _not_ appreciated. <g> FWIW I appreciate what appears to be your sincere interest and desire to find the best 3d app for your needs. Alot of people would have bailed out having encountered the resistance you've met, but personally I think its a very healthy dialog. I love 3DS!!! No doubt about it. But for some reason I don't find your challenging queries disturbing, on the contrary I find them thoughtful and probing. So I think if you keep at it you'll come to the same conclusion I have. If not that's o.k. too. The point is you're checking it out, and that's supposed to be what this place is about. If 3DS can't stand the scrutiny, then there's obviously a problem. I think it can, and while your comments about R4 might rattle a few cages, I think R5 will leave no doubt about the 3DS legacy. And just so you know, 3DS for NT has been in development for the last 2 and a half years! So its not a question of first to market, but what will work best on the NT OS. There's no rush. I'd rather stick with DOS until they get it just they way they want it. I have alot of faith in the Yost Group's ability to deliver. They always have. So anyway I welcome your comments as for the most part I've found them quite objective. And maybe in the process you'll find that special feature that makes 3DS your app of choice. In the meantime don't be real concerned about rattling a few cages; 3DS can take it, I promise. <g> John
