   Hi folks,

   I'm having some problems using the bufferClone method in my dBase process.

   We are writing a DIS "Stealth like" application that is multi-processing
   (PFMP_APP_CULL_DRAW | PFMP_FORK_DBASE ... etc). We use the dBase process
   to asynchronously load models in as they are needed. There are many
   duplicates (similar vehicles), and it would be nice to clone them. I've
   been exploring the bufferClone method, but I don't understand where I
   store the original models.

   1. Do I store the models in the dBase process and bufferClone from a tree
      stored there?

   2. I'm not quite sure where I set up the storage pfBuffer.

   3. The pfDCS that I attach the model to is allocated in the APP process.
      Is this still doable?

   I'm sure I'm missing some points here. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

   Brad
