Roger, I hope I'm not one of the "self-proclaimed experts…doing Autodesk some sort of favor" that you referred to – I'm actually quite self- deprecating and modest about my meager, insignificant achievements. I just thought I would try and discuss this thing with you and come up with some suggestions or put a modicum of sanity into the whole thing and now the whole discussion seems to have a degenerated into a mud-slinging argument. I have asked for a better interface too and I'm sure this will be addressed in a major revision, probably 2.0, in due course. Just to prove I'm not a sycophant I want to tell you about my run-in with the Tempra people, Mathmatica, on their forum and how they misled me about the capabilities of Tempra Pro for the targa+. I kicked up enough of a fuss with them that they gave me a refund, which at first they were dead against – I believe taking my grievance public on CI$ made the difference although I kept my comments civil, rather than insulting being English and having been brought up to be polite in all circumstances <g>. However, now I feel just as strongly that Autodesk is doing most of the right things to help me make a living – what's wrong with that? It's my opinion and I don't feel any pressure to say nice things about them, it's just credit where credit's due. They have been very responsive to users requests – just look at 3ds2 and all the wishlist items that went into that. Maybe I'm still so pleased with that accomplishment that I can overlook the shortcomings of Anipro….. At least you've got to give me credit for being one of the few people on the forum for trying to discuss this with you <g>. 'Nuff said. Martin
