The ISP has replied that the "situation" will be corrected or the account killed and that is the only thing currently forestalling me from going upstream to their provider (ttd.com). As to the "dogs of war" I've taken the liberty of sending the appropriate URLs to LucasFilms Ltd, Steven Spielberg Productions, Marvel Comics Group, Time Warner/AOL, Paramount Productions, Renaissance Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and the holding company managing the estate of Groucho Marx. I figger that should keep him busy for a while :-)

FYI Thorne as of 2:00am CDT your Mikki model is back up on the site in the free downloads section, this time renamed "Minnie2", although the filename remains the same. The URL is... http://anas.worldonline.es/aevmulti/downl.htm

Apples & oranges dunga. The answer to your question is, no posting a scene with modified figures is not an infringement of copyright. If you were selling those figures, as the "gentleman" in question, (& I use the term very loosely:-), was it would be. As to "rudeness" remember that next time you catch someone sneaking out of your house with your possessions under his arm. Will you shout "STOP YOU S.O.B.!" or quietly say "please sir the ownership of the items you have seems to be in question?

Thorne as of 3:00am CDT there is still a 194K animated "Mikki" gif on the main page, (http://anas.worldonline.es/aevmulti/anima.html). PhilC the "French Maid" gif has been removed, however I tried to anticipate the sites being dismantled & went back & archived all the gifs (including the animals & animations) & HTML coding for future reference, (or evidence :-), if necessary. So if any of the injured parties need copies feel free to contact me directly.

If your newsserver doesn't carry a.b.3d.p, (and a lot of servers don't) you can access it via the free server scrappy.visi.com. Note to Phil your posting showed up at 6:10pm CDT on my server

When using the menu from the toolbar I always wind up at "my documents" but when double-clicking on the part to be morphed the dialogue box has always gome directly to my P4 dir, (both pre & post patch)

Another way that I think is a bit easier is to simply create your morph folder in your P4 directory. Then all you have to do is double-click on the part you want to morph, in the box that appears select "add morph target", (the box defaults to your poser directory :-) & follow the instructions from there.

She's a new model from Zygote. Victoria the "Millenium Woman", released earlier this month. Increased vertices in the posette "problem" areas make her eminently more poseable & able to express a far wider range of emotion. Available for an intro price of $59.95 til Apr 23 & well worth the price. :-)

I had the same problem trying to edit the Vicky Morph cr2 file in order to make the Victoria shirt that was posted work. The file hung in NotePad, WordPad,& Lotus WordPro before finally I managed to do it with Ultra Edit (http://www.ultraedit.com). Hope that helps

Why not circumvent that situation by using DalNet where channels (& nicknames for that matter), can be registered through ChanServ & NickServ, respectively?

I think you should separate the questions Jack. "Do you like the model" & "Do you plan to buy it are not tecessarily the same thing. I do plan purchase the model because I can use it in my work, however that doesn't necessarily mean I like it or don't think that it could have been done better.

I'd suggest crosswinds.net. They've removed their space limitations & their banner requirements. So basically they offer unlimited space. I've sent a number of people there, as well as helped a few people set up their own sites & haven't had a problem yet.

I just sent him a bunch of Oriental Rug tex maps at... HokusaiV@aol.com
