I don't think CL has to make Mike/Vicky/any character compatible with the face room, it would be nice if CL would at least give the info to people who want to do the work. If CL did indeed make Mike/Vicky compatible, they would be opening a large can of worms. They would then have to answer why they didn't do so for any other character, such as DaCort's. As far as DAZ coming out with their own program. It isn't out yet. There are no specs. What will people do if it is released with as many bugs as Poser 5? Does DAZ have the resources to cope with a project this size? We'll soon see. Should be an interesting ride!
