Adam, You deserve to throw yourself a party given all the OSX work you have been doing. I sure would like to join you but you are little too far away from southeastern Virginia for me to make that party. I have to agree with Jean-Paul, Minneapolis is a little too cold for my blood. Cheers, Way

I agree with your logic but there may be some user issues if you change the packages3D install path. Users who don't use the KISYS3DMOD environment variable may loose the link to their 3D models. You'll have to look at the library path search code to see which paths are currently supported before
