I am pretty sure I don't understand totally what you are suggesting. I think
that you are saying that NO rotational axis be specifed in a model, but
rather, the program will scan a model's parts and find ALL rotational
axis?
That sounds like a great idea. Except to make dat file controlled
animations (which is a goal of mine), there still has to be someway to
refer to a particular rotational axis. Like:
0 ANIMATE datfileName.uniqueNameOfAxis (start frame; end frame;
start rotational; end rotation; curve formula)

Ya, I looked at the Artemis stuff. It sounds good to me. I don't think Karim
suggested a syntax for his stages though. Did he?
