No. Performer 2.x is saying that the texture spline you have specified in your
database uses IRISGL _values_ . You can edit these texture attributes and
replace them with OpenGL _values_ to eliminate the diagnostic. Performer 2.x
interprets the values correctly in either case.

Yes, I happen to know that this particular database has always had these
problems. It has been fixed somewhat already. As I recall ... it's gonna take
some time to fix it right.

PFFLT_OLD_STYLE_XREFS is described in the loader's readme file. If you're
still getting "missing palette member" notices, then enabling this loader mode
may improve things a bit.

Regards.
