What's hard to understand about ICP? You're telling me that someone smart enough or dogged enough to learn a program like Imagine or LightWave suddenly becomes dull-witted and can't understand a glorified file requester like ICP? As far as I have ever seen, there *are* plenty of file requester embedded in Amiga applications that are *more* complicated than ICP! And Imagine is not winning any awards for UI simplicity, either. LightWave is a wall of buttons, mysterious mouse clicks and barely documented key sequences. Here's what you do to convert an Imagine object to LightWave. Double-click ICP_Start. ICP's window appears. You use the file requester to find the file you want, you double-click it. It moves to the selected files list. You choose LightWave as your output format, from another scrolling list. You press Convert. Presto, it's done. Gee, that's much harder than learning how to use Pick Points mode within the Detail Editor of Imagine, or how to map a texture bitmap to an object in LightWave. And to add insult to injury, Pixel will do a terrible job of converting that Imagine object to LightWave.
