Hi Performers.

I have 3 question about MultiGen V14, which a fairly simple, but I'm
new to MultiGen.

 a) I tried to set the environment variables for the default texture, dfad,
    and flt file locations in my .cshrc, but when importing a texture it
    still uses the '/usr/Multigen_flt/.....' path. A printenv from shell
    shows that the variables are indeed set, so what am I missing ?

 b) If I do a perfly using one of my flt files, it loades textures using
    their absolute path. Is this related to the above ?
    (I hate the idea of having demos that have this kind of dependency)

 c) I'm modelling a scene with 7x5 tiles and 3 lod's using 1,2 and 4 meter
    data. If I align my textures using imgview, then they match perfectly.
    When I look at my scene there's a border between the individual tiles,
    which looks very much like a dark pixel.

    When I load the texture into the texture palette I set u,v and u+v to
    TX_clamp. Then I apply the texture to the tile using 'Use select' and
    'Use Corners'.

    I then pick 3 corners of the mesh using the middle mouse button to snap
    onto the vertices. On some tiles it looks like the texture matches
perfectly
    with the 3 picked corners but not on the last. (My tiles are perfectly
    square).

    Any hints ?
