Thanks for your reply, VirtualWorldDynamics.
I took a look at the types of files that Carrara can open and neither .dyn nor .PC2 are in the list.
I also looked at the process of using the python script so that I could remind myself of how it is used (I'm a fairly inexperienced Poser user).
In Poser, I go to 'File / run Python script...' The script is on my Desktop.
After it runs and I save the scene, I have a .pz3 file and a .pmd file both with the same name (I don't really know what these mean!!)
When I open the .pz3 file in Carrara, The figure, with clothing appears and all the animation data is on the timeline, ready to render. In my experiments, I used the Roxie figure and had problems with the fit of the clothes - as though morph adjustments to the figure were lost and the figure had gone back to its original state. (Roxie isn't really compatible with Carrara, I believe).
I'm sure I was correct in believing that the Dyn_To_Morphs python script was distributed freely (I never steal software) but it is marked as copyright. Here is an excerpt from the script, which I hope is OK to post:
Here are links to my experiments in using the script:

In carrara, it is possible to carry out soft body draping of cloth using Bullet Physics but animated figures pass through the clothing. Here are some Carrara drapes:

To all: As a Poser user as well as Carrara user, I hope I haven't interrupted the main topic too much.
Finally (!) I would be happy to wait for some help information to be prepared before using the trial.
