Howdy Todd,
Nice to meet you and have you here. You can use objects in 2.0 that were
created in 3.0 and above, but you will not be able to access any of the
imbedded STATES that may be in these objects. Also, I believe that subgroups
defined in 3.1/3.2 will not be maintained when importing into 2.0. You most
probabably will not be able to use the new textures or effects with 2.0, though
I am not 100% certain.
Currently we only have the latest ISL which works with IM3.x, I don't know
where you could find ISL for 2.0, sorry.
As for objects, we have a few here in the Imagine section, as well as a few PD
textures that were written by Steve Blackmon, but they are specifically for
IM3.x.
A great place to look around for objects, imagemaps, even ISL, is the internet
site at avalon.vislab.navy.mil
If you use WinCim 1.3.1/1.4 you can GO FTP and access the net.

P.S. I looked at TODGEARS.ZIP, and enjoyed it. Nice work…though probably a
little tedious to make knowing you were using 2.0! <g> I'd recommend you at
least Upgrade to Imagine L/T, which comes on CD for $99.00. You'll at least
see how far Imagine has come since then. And you can always upgrade to
IM3.x/IM4.0 from there.
