Hello All!  In my quest to create a very comprehensive game lib for all to
use I have conquered a lot, but have fallen to one large beast!  If you
don't know what I am doing- I am building a 3d game library for my personal
use and will give the library to everyone in hope that it will be a catalyst
in Yaroze development!  So, about my problem-

    I have been toying with the idea of a 3d skeletal animation system in
which each part of a skeleton is represented by a seperate mesh.  I began
the coding a few days ago and I do not like the way it is turning out.  So,
as most of us probably have done, I went to the library reference and looked
over the gteMIMefunc().  Hmm...  looks good, possibly exactly what I need,
so I printed out the dino demo and studied the code for a little while.
Well, doesn't look that hard, the only thing is- how does the other end
look?  The mime data is in binary so I can't read it, and looking over how
it reads it in is giving me a headache.  It looks simple, so I am probably
missing something easy.  If anyone can help me with this gteMIMefunc() than
all of us will profit from it...

Thank You,

Nathan Miller
