Hi Gary- I'm glad to hear that compiler support will be broader with R5. But for the File Tool Kit, isn't the particular choice of DOS extender independent of the 3D Studio code? I thought the File Tool Kit is just a set of procedures for reading/writing the database files (that's what I gather from the manual). Also, Watcom 10.0 supports Phar Lap, as well as DOS/4GW, just like release 9.5 does. Oh, well, I guess I can use .ASC files for a while. I really like 3D Studio a lot; I don't want to whine too much. By the way, the utility I am trying to create is a program for automatically assigning mapping coordinates to all the rectangular object faces in a scene. This will make it a lot easier to texture map a large scene: no more "detach face, assign coordinates, join face." Is there any existing tool or utility that will help me here? I haven't heard of any… -Mike
