Possibly a standard word >processor format etc. CBM never made IFF a standard. Electronic Arts did. They just had the fore-sight to release it as a public standard to encourage other people to use it also. So it became a defacto standard on the amiga. As to the 3D standard, the rest of the world already has two, it would be nice if Amiga adapted them. IGES and DXF. They are CAD standards but they also support 3D. and for rendering, RENDERMAN is a pretty nice standard, that supports textures as well as 3D shapes. -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.
