An official manual of the CR2 file format would be very welcome. Will it be a printed book or a free download or what? But, PLEASE don't put the copy protection on Poser 5, even if we're going to be stuck with it on the Poser Pro Pack. I know that many top-range programs such as Maya have it, but Maya is a very expensive specialist thing that very few people buy compared with the amount of people who have Poser and most of those are businesses. Compared with Maya etc, Poser is a cheap (but good) mass-sale item and the inevitable internet and personal contact rumours about forthcoming nuisance with loading it will scare many purchasers off or will drive them to sticking with Poser 4 or waiting a bit and getting the inevitable serial-number-less warez version of Poser 5 even if they were law-abiding before. Nuisance versus convenience drives people to all sorts of things. Same as: among those of you who ride a motorcycle, which of you haven't ever ridden on the pavement (USA: sidewalk) to get past a barrier?
