That's too bad. I hope that as more high-end CAD software for the Amiga is developed, there will be a path (perhaps provided by you?) for interchange of data bases with the PC world. IGES, for better or for worse, appears to be a standard that Amiga CAD will have to contend with. At least with something like ACAD on the street, the possibility is there to take very detailed data bases from the mainframe CAD at the aerospace company I work for and get them to the Amiga for rendering and animation. I'm working on selling this concept (and a high-end Amiga configuration) to the powers that be for doing PR-type stuff, product visualization, etc., without having to rebuild the data base from scratch in Sculpt or Turbo Silver (TIME is MONEY!). At any rate, I owe you guys a debt of thanks for what you've done with Interchange – it works, it works well, and it's been worth its weight in gold to me as I transition from the Sculpt learning curve to Turbo Silver. I love being able to use each program for what it does best. Looking forward to your 3.0 module… Your Fan, Joe Pizzicaroli
