Brian, I noted in your message your reference to "Autodesk patented file formats". Can you say specifically what file formats have been patented by Autodesk? Having viewed the .GIF nightmare where UNISYS came back 10 years after the fact demanding royalties from anyone using the patented encoding schemes for .GIF, our attorneys our asking us to be very wary of patent/royalty issues for the future. Also, is there a license or royalty fee required for using FLCLIB in a commercial application product? If so, can you say how much? Thanks, Jack
