'In fact, from what I see (not having an SDK yet to be completely sure) saved light, material, shader and pose files from DAZ are really scripts' Save them as .ds files (clear text) and you'll see what's in them. I'd advise Edit Pad Lite (free) to open them. Notepad can't handle carriage returns. As far as editing goes, they're not like poser files where almost anyone can do it. I had to shout for rob W's help a few times, but I can now do quite a few useful hacks. mac PS The idea of DAZ abandoning poser products is almost as ludicrous as the DS vs P6 topic.
