I have a couple of questions b4 I upgrade to VS 3.0. If ANYONE out there has 
the answers, please post.

1) can VS 3.0 successfully read .OBJ files that were written out using 2.0 
ObjectFiler?

2) Does Digitalk now officially license you to re-distribute Win32s with 
runtimes, or do they have the same disclaimer they had with 2.0?

THX for any info,

Ray Waddington
