Very interesting development. Thanks for the info, Lars.

Going to have to update mine and check this out. 3dWin is an interesting
program, and I have tried using it to do 3DS to POV/Moray conversions. But it
is frustrating in that it does not include the image-maps/textures of the 3DS
object, just the meshes. <sigh>
But then, why should I check this out? I only am interested in DAT to POV
conversions, and I doubt if it is better than L3P. :-)
