Hi M. (May? :-)

Thanks for the idea. I hadn't though about using ivquicken. I'm at the wrong
computer now, but I'll try that ASAP.

Yeah, IMHO, the Performer team blew it big time by not giving Inventor better
coverage. I read in the FAQ that a more complete Inventor reader was to be
distributed through the info-performer mailing list "at a future time." I guess
the future hasn't happened yet. In the mean time, I've pulled a copy of pfiv.c
out of /usr/src/Performer/... and I'm trying to hack out my own LoadIv()
function.

That's another thing. I've been reading Gavin Bell's postings in
comp.sys.sgi.graphics. He is asking if any Inventor users would be upset if
Inventor's C API were to disappear in a future (the next?) release. I guess
we'd better hope the Performer team is moving to C++ or we are really going to
be left out in the cold.

Thanks again.
Thom
