all the AW models, created a bunch of them, made a model cleanup/preview
program that sucked IMO but it's still in wide use. Did ya know that before
I did the initial docs and got the Titans and other started, NOBODY was
making any custom artwork except Danny and Lynn? Hadda teach myself pretty
much too altho Danny helped some. There's a whole lotta stuff I did bucko,
and what have you done? A WEB PAGE? ROFLMAO Oh yah I

In the early days, when the few of use grabbed the last copies of Ferraros
book about RWX, Dataman was our only source of information, and a damned
good one too:) Without him, which inspired, nurtured and helped the first
wave of model creators, I doubt very much we would have the numbers of model
and avatar creators.

Phew, long sentence.. what I'm saying is: if you want rwx information now
you can find in lots of places. Back in the pioneering days (when we had
fun!) a crappy, rudimentary web page and a simple rwx utility was a
treasure, it was all we had (plus the ever helpful and patient Dataman of
course:) )

PS. I'm still using rwxmod, beats the shit out of any promiseware:) DS
