The 3DS file toolkit API does not contain any calls to read application-specific XDATA chunks from a 3DS file. Actually, the file format tables at the end of the manual do not mention anything about the APPDATA chunks. This data should normally appear in the mesh3ds structure. I am using Release 3 of the file toolkit and was told this is the latest version. Is there a more recent version or is this simply a 'hole' in the API? I know I can get to this data by iterating through the chunks, but I am looking for a documented entry-point. Thanks for any help. Philippe Lourier
