Dude, that's tragic. I'm gutted that you've decided to walk away from XSI.
We've just lost a major developer talent and significant contributor to the

Who's gonna champion the Messiah method of implementing the rendertree now?
;-)
All the best
Andy

Luc, no fear, I will unsubscribe from this list now and no longer bother
anyone with my smallish concerns.
