When I first ran into the ext-geom requirement I was grumpy about it, because
embedded geom makes housekeeping so much easier.  You don't need to
worry about leftover bits in hard-to-find folders.   

But there is one genuine advantage to the separate OBJ, beyond the commercial 
reasons.  It eases Poser's burden considerably when using several figures
that have the same OBJ, and thus makes complicated scenes easier to handle
and easier to store.

As wdupre said, the easiest way to rip out the OBJ is just to load the figure
and resave it under a new name.  Poser will then write the separate OBJ 
in the same folder with the new CR2.  After that, you just move the OBJ into 
an appropriate folder under Geometries and change the two 'objFileGeom' 
lines in the CR2 to match the new location.
