} The call you make is only a wrapper which uses the extension you
} supply to find a call in the DSOs which will output the requested
} format. Not all loaders have corresponding writers. In fact there

} for their formats to output the file from a Performer scene graph
} in the same way they currently supply a loader to build the graph.
}
} Clearly with Inventor there is no 3rd party. I don't think you will
} ever see a performer store file function for inventor unless someone
} out there donates one fro the greater good.
