@ Spanki: Having failed for the umpteenth time to get Dev-C++ to do anything, I downloaded the free Visual Studio 2005 Express last week. I need to update to the Vista version before it will do anything else, and I can't download the Windows include files because my connection is too slow for the 413 MB download. :( I hadn't realized the 2008 version was available. I'll check it out. I was looking into buying an old copy of the 2003 C++ (which was used to build Python, apparently), for cheap at Amazon. But that would be a month or two down the road. Who knows, I may have a faster internet connection (finally) before then....
@ ADP: That's kind of what I was groping toward. The process would have to call popen for the pipe with every loop iteration, right now. I guess I should embed the loop code into the hypothetical C port. Hmm. I think I should be able to compile a command line utility without needing those Windows include files which I can't download. Can you tell us anything about using an actual .dll with Poser Python, rather than a .exe or .pyd?

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
