I've got 1.0, and never heard about an update. Outside of very simple pictures, it would always give me memory errors, even when I used the -a5 switch. I've got scads of memory (10 meg) so why should I be limited to the tiny bit that Pixel3D allocates? Otherwise, it's a terrific product. -=> CAW Christopher A. Wichura Multitasking.
