No, I don't think we should stay out of object graphics. It is
like any new thing. There is a learning curve, both for the people
creating the software and the people using it. I think there is
no getting around the fact that object graphics files will be
larger than direct graphics files. But that has to be weighed
against new capability. And there is significant new capability,
especially with respect to any kind of 3D visualization.

What I would like to see RSI do is come up with graphics
windows that allow both object graphics and direct graphics
calls. Then instead of either/or you can have the best of
both worlds, when each is appropriate.

Cheers,

David
