Very true :-)

"Or does the new library system and Flash and all that have issues with it?" 

I wouldn't think so since you'ld be converting .rsr to .png before displaying it. I worked using a Perl script Dodger wrote as an example, that uses the open source ImageMacick library to do the actual .pict to .png conversion. I don't know how Poser used to handle it - if it was already a simple call to an external routine or if it was more part of the main code. They may well have gotten rid of it in moving to 64 bit because they were calling something that wasn't 64 bit friendly on one or both platforms. Or just because they felt it was time to stop supporting it, which I couldn't really criticize them for either - their call.
