When I look at the documentation on the .MAT file (in the file formats
doc from the Yaroze web site), it shows an entry for "Material
Information" that includes possible data for where textures are mapped
onto various polygons in the model data.

I took a .3ds model file that I know has texture data in it, and used
3DStudio to create a .dxf file.  I then ran this through dxf2rsdw.exe
which created 4 files.  When I checked the .MAT file, the Material
Information data showed only a single color, and no texture map info for
all polygons.  

I assumed that this is the place where rsdlink.exe gets the mapping info
for the .tmd file so my program can map textures to a model on the
Yaroze, but is this right?  If so, how do I get the data from my .3ds
file to the .rsd file,  If not, how do I get the data into my program.

Thanks
