Re: zpic in xsi 6.5?

[ThierryBaret <baret.thierry(at)neuf.fr>]

Aahh my fault...in fact Zpic works it's just that in the frame buffer it 
takes the name passName_depth.zpic but to be recognized it has to be 
passName_Main.zpic. The problem of it appearing locked at 720 X 486 in the 
FxTree is because when the file is not readable FxTree gives it a default 
fictive format of 720 X 486.
So, all is well and working, sorry for the my mistake.

Thierry
