We have quickly coded up a tool that loads 3ds files, allows you to
view the object, and then save them in various formats (currently rsd,
but tmd will be added). Rsd files can also now be loaded. It only
supports 3 sided polygons currently, but does support textured objects
more importantly! It needs more work done on it to complete the
texture handling and add batch conversions in, but basically it may
help a few people.

Unfortunately real work has been intefering a lot in the last few
weeks which is why I have been pretty quiet. Real work will continue
to interfere for the next 14 days at least, so don't expect the tool
to be uploaded until then unless someone here would like to continue
it.

It is written to run under Win95 and uses OpenGL [Cosmo in fact].

re: Our little pacman game, ManicX

All is done, but I have things to do all week so it won't be until
next week at least that I upload it along with a couple of tools that
some of you may find useful.
