I would also like to see PAL versions of the viewing utils.  Certainly a
cheaper option than an NTSC telly.

Mind you its not much work to write one yourself. After all that's what
the Yaroze is for. :-)

	I have been using 3d Studio with limited success.  Although it write
the model data ok it does not appear to write out the colour information
to the dxf file.  At the moment all my object are variants on a white
theme. :-)

Recently I have been using Ray Dream studio to do the modeling.  This
appears to correctly write out the colouring info.  I am now having
better results with this than with 3ds.

This information would be extremely useful.  I would certainly consider
writing a convert for 3ds2rsd, dxf it just too limited when the modelers
don't all work to the same level.
