'Weirdly, Poser 6 seemed to have more trouble with too much memory than with not enough' Possibly a legacy from P4. If you've ever tried to use P4 with 2GB of RAM before installing the memory patch, you'll know what I mean. I hear people asking for a code rewrite. It sounds wonderful and would probably solve a lot of problems, but EF would almost certainly be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. In other words, if there's a major code rewrite, it's likely that backwards compatibility will go out the window, and half the stuff we now use may not work. For example, it's almost certain that the code would go binary to cut down file size (like daz studio). If that happens, all the hacks (like MATs) will become a lot more difficult, if not impossible. DS can write most files in clear text, so MATs can be hacked, but you need to know a bit more than just how to open notepad. Still, a double file system like that could be an option for Poser too. mac
