Thanks for those ideas. And here's another one I thought of
later. The problem with Interchange is this: when you re-save
the posed Humanoid, it changes all the LoadObject lines which
load null objects to AddNullObject which Interchange can't
understand. So, it's quite easy to edit those back to
LoadObject and then use Interchange to do all the grueling work.
