I do tend to agree with you on your analysis of IK, and yes, it does create more problems than it fixes. It's handy for quick click/drag pose setting but other than that I find it a complete PITA. No need for thanks, you're welcome to the link and I'm sorry you had problems accessing the file. Please do note though that at least one person in this thread had a problem on a mac with the t800, and I have no way to thoroughly test on a mac for any compatibility issues. It's very memory intensive on a PC so it may well make a greater than usual demand on the ram allocated to poser on a mac.
