Greetings, Our Imaging Manager has been working with 3D Studio since release 1. Over the years, we've been impressed with the functionality that has been built into this product. However, there have been times that he's wished for certain functions; such as when he needs to adjust several hundred spotlights at the same time. As a result, we're now looking into developing IPAS procedures to accomplish what we need. We are in possession of Borland C++ 3.1 (and Turbo C++ 3.0) and the Phar Lap 286 Kit. Will either of these tools be usable by us in developing IPAS modules? If not, what are the recommended development kits?
