#FLC lib

Ray,
I don't think it is fair to base a companies reputation on the attitude of
one individual. I haven't had any luck with Chris and, even if he does go
to out in the field a lot, I'm surprised there isn't someone to take over
his function while he's gone. Despite this, in all other respects, I have
found Autodesk to be a progressive and enjoyable company to deal with. Once
you've got over your annoyance at Chris' response you'll probably realize
that 3ds2.0 wins out over Topaz (any version) especially when it comes to
cost/performance.

You know Martin,
I almost lost my HEAD over Chris's slow response. Between April 1st and
Last week I had to call EVERY week to ask them where our AniPro FLC
libraries where. Every week I got a different answer. My employer got so
frusterated that he had one of our programmers write our _own_ animation
playback routine.
All of this gives me a "very bad feeling" about the coming IPAS SDK…

Mike,
Yes, I hope they (Adesk) can get their act together over the multimedia
developer support problem since I want to become a developer. I wasn't
quite as persisent as you in my calls – I foolishly thought it would be
sufficient to leave voice mail 3 times (what a dope I was! <g>)
Martin
Boy! I can't tell you how much voice mail I left! I almost got to the point
of programming my phone with Chris' number!
(As if I _knew_ how to program my phone…All I know is that somehow I got
the Tech Support number for Sound Blaster programmed into #1. So everytime
I try to dial a long dist Number and forget to choose an outside line
first, I get this "Welcome to Brown-Wagh! For Tech Support press…". But
thats another story…)
Yep, I hope they get their act together for IPAS. BTW did I get the
impression from Gary that you were lucky enough to get to work on the IPAS
docs? Or was that another "Martin".

Mike,
Mistaken identity again. That Martin was probably Martin Doudoroff. I
think you have to reach "super-genius" level, at least, before being
admitted to the Yost Group <g>.

Martin,
thanks for the tip. When an individual is a companies contact point to the
"outside world" for any reason, that individual IS the company in the eyes
of the customer… I hope Autodesk realizes that.
