Hi All,

  Just to signal a bug in the generation of pfb files with pfconv. When
converting a vrml file to pfb the textures paths are set into the pfb
file with a '\' (backslash) even if it is a local path, i.e. '.\' .

  When reading this pfb under an IRIX system there is no way the loader
finds the textures due to this. Either the loader or the writer is wrong
but this is a internal problem. The solution was to edit byt hand the
binary file and change all '\' concerning textures to regular '/' ...

  Maybe this could be patched for 3.0.3 ?

  HTH
