Ed, it would seem that a polygonal bounding box or lasso hot/safe area would
not be that complex a piece of code. Could it be they were holding off for the
{UPGRADE}! Frankly, I see that feature as indispensible… and irritates me. In
the meantime, I have been setting up FLC stand-ins. You're right about the
scale source. My guess is, now that Xaos got a sobbering look at price
structure, they will see that the 3-DS user-base is growing quickly and adjust
accordingly. [they ought to take a look at Painter 3.0 for a few feature tips.
It's a little odd – the Fractal people have a somewhat sloppy program that
needs lots of code refination, but really understand a paint interface. Whereas
the Xaos programmers are top top shelf, but could use some on-sight real
artist's input. Just like life I guess. Jeffrey
