>> why is R4 still on DOS? << You have a good point, Jeff. It seems that everybody wants 3DS to evolve to a more apropriate OS. I feel the same way. I hope I am not alone in not wanting NT to be the choice — but it probably will be. It would be nice to break the bonds with Microsoft while we still can. One note, though. I remember talking with someone who made the point that 3DS is argueably the most _manageable_ 3D app around. One can manage the files, OS, hardware, etc. without having to hire a full-time tech-support team or having to buy into a one-sided service contract. Whichever way the tide turns, I hope the manageability remains reasonably constant. — James — MAP —
