P5 does use a newer version. Generally speaking, scripts written for one version will work in the other. There are a few differences, but it's easy enough to write "across" those changes. In this case, though, I've written a DLL outside of Poser, which does the job of reading the image to a BMP file. This DLL is strictly version-specific, and has to be written separately for each type. It's also strictly Windows-specific, so there won't be a Mac version of this at all.
