Hi Mihnea, thanks for replying on this and best of luck with the grad school. I did it myself a few years back and never regretted it. Later on, when things get frenetic, then quasi-busy will seem relaxed by comparison.

Carl - saying thanks and wandering OT to wish you best of luck

Any new developments on the petition? --Carl

Thanks for the info on petitionsonline.com. Once I hear it's been posted there, I'll pass the URL on. --Carl :-)

One question: Will just responding to this thread be considered signing the petition, or will we all need to come back for the actual signing? I need to know so I'll be able to pass that onto a couple of forums I'm involved with. --Carl

Count me in on this one as well. Hopefully, this will turn into a great opportunity to get my favorite 3D app out of limbo and back into development. Thanks to all of you. --Carl

The DeepExploration format converter is good, but if you want to try a freebie, check out Crossroads3D.

Guess I'll fill in the answer here.
I contacted Paul C. Bos via email. The current version of the PCB Zoom Tool does not work with Poser5. A new version is planned that will be compatible with Poser5 and with DAZ Studio.
