I've been outa touch for a while. Has a release data and a price been set for 3DS V3.0, and what will the upgrade do beyond V2.0? PS Soem of us hate using BBS systems (Compuserve included), which relates to the questions of tech support. I sure woudl like direct phone support. Thanks for your time Rich Schwartz

>>Soem of us hate using BBS systems (Compuserve included), which relates to >>the questions of tech support. I sure woudl like direct phone support. But Rich — with phone only support, what are the odds you could ask the head of the company a casual question like this, and expect (during NORMAL non-pre-release times) an answer the same day? I've gotten 30-minute turn-around on questions to Gary before, and he's not just some Q&A tech — but someone who knows the program intimately! I WOULDN'T do without my ASOFT forum! Dave

That information is going to be announced at Siggraph on August 3rd. I'm sure it'll find its way into the forum that week. – G

If you pick if Compuserve Information Manager or the Windows version (or Tapcis, or Ozcis) you will find navigating compuserve a breeze. I used to hate compuserve till I got the DOS CIM. Made my life a lot easier (and my phone bills larger). Phone support would be nice, but I have yet to run across a problem that I couldn't solve by posting a message here. Besides, How often do you get personal help from the people who actually created and wrote the software? Oh, yea, and according to the Yost Group, the official announcement for R3 will be on August 2nd, at SIGGRAPH.

I couldn't figure out CIS until I got DOS CIM either. My bill shot WAY up, as high as $160/month until I found TAPCIS…I STRONGLY recommend this program. My bill is now down to $20-40 per month. Brent
