Larry: >> (1) I intentionally wanted to set….. I can see where you are trying to keep it flexible, my problem comes when I start and stop the rendering. This means that I have to remember what images go with what frame. If I can't have it both ways, then I would certainly want to keep it flexible. Maybe you can use the frame count from 3DS as an OFFSET to the image to be extracted. Example, frame 0 in 3DS could require image xxxx0024.tga; frame 1 – image xxxx0025.tga…… >> (3) Extract.for is the Fortran source file for Extract.exe. Just in case you wanted to see how something was actually being done. I guess I showed my ignorance there. >> Hmmm. Maybe I could read in configuration data as parameters to EXTRACT. For example: .EXTRACT Zip_file_name_with_path Destination_map_path EXTRACT.DAT_path XXXX .Where if XXXX is numeric, it is the starting sequence number . XXXX is not numeric, it is the location of the 3DS frame count . file (use frame count as sequence number) . XXXX doesn't exist, look for EXTRACT.DAT << If xxxx is not numeric, it is the location of the 3DS frame count file (use frame count as "OFFSET" to sequence number) Sounds good to me.
