Voyager is nothing like Bryce - Corel/Vector have no possible basis to sue him on. When I beta tested bryce all those years there is something very important I learned about Eric's original deal with HSC when he first created Bryce: the only thing HSC/Meta/Corel/Vector owns is the Kai UI that makes Bryce what it is. Eric is free to write his own code (he did) and create whatever he wants as long as he doesn't use that UI (he didn't). End of story. Voyager uses a few built-in planets and mostly uses Artmatic systems as input to planet creation (again nothing like Bryce). This is a 1.0 product and Bryce didn't support object import until version 2 and even then it was only DXF objects. I seriously doubt if Corel/Vector give a shit about this. Eric's company is very tiny and only serves the Mac community. As I recall Corel turned their back on the Mac community so they have no leg to stand on. Scott
