Bob:

 I find 17 files with the *.p extension under the cont32/plugins/modeler
directory on my 4.0 disk. Among them are spherize, spikey, center...And
they're duplicated in cont16/plugins/modeler. They are *not* listed under
the specific OS and processor directories, which seems to suggest that
they're platform-independent.

Try a global search of the directory tree...I'm sure they'll show up.
(Unless NewTek is shipping two versions of the CD).

Two notes:

1) Each of these 17 files must be individually loaded through the "load
plug-in" dialogue box under the Custom button. (At least, I couldn't find a
way to do it in a batch...but I don't know how to write a Rexx script, either).

Loading Layout plug-ins is a different prodecure, BTW--also required.

2) Most of these *.p files become two or three different plug-ins once
they've been loaded. After loading the 17 files  from the CD-ROM, my Custom
list showed 37 new options. "gear" are "julienne" both appeared in modeller
after I loaded the 17 *.p files,  although neither appears by that name on
the CD-ROM. (Both mighty handy, too).

Well, "Bubbles" and "Absolute" are not on the list, so that's two more that
I didn't have before. Thanks, Bob. The helpfulness and generosity of the
members of this list shouldn't surprise me any more...but it does.

And, hey, if you're really having fun, I'll bet there are plenty more out
there just waiting for your attention...
