Wabe, I gues I didn't understand your message the first time, but after the second time I understand your point now (LOL). 

Greg, interesting tests.  I think Wabe might be right.  There might be something screwy with the Poser import API on PPC machines that's causing the problem.  I have alerted the tech folks from e-on to follow this thread as weel as one on C3D.  So perhaps they could repeat your excellent tests here.
