This is what it says in Curious Labs website about Poser 5 and the Pro Pak: >>The Poser Pro Pack plug-ins are not currently updated to work with Poser 5. The plug-ins will be updated to work with Poser 5, but some high level functionality found in Poser 5 will not be enabled to the 3rd party host application. Poser 5 incorporates all the features of Pro Pack except for the plug-ins. Full details on the update to the plug-ins and its projected delivery schedule will be available soon.>> Now my question is, will Poser 5 include the plugins at least as they are right now so users of Poser 5 working on scenes that don't include the new functionality (dynamic clothing and hair etc.) can communicate with their 3D software of choice?

What I meant to say is it would be nice if in the meantime we can use the old plugins in a Poser 4 mode or something while the plugins are optimized for Poser 5.

Mithc, You may be able to work in "Poser 4" feature mode, and I hope that to be the case as well. We are testing the version issues that arise from PP Plug-ins looking for a newer version of the Poser executable (Poser Pro Pack enhanced versus Poser 5 versions). Most likely though, it's a matter of us updating the plug-in's underlying version checker code to work with a newer rev. But this would still require an updater, and our testing of that updater prior to public release. It's at the top of the list, right next to a Mac release. Kupa

Thanks for your quick response. Hope you can get it updated and tested before release time but even if you don't my money is reserved to get Poser 5 as soon as it comes out.
