- No, the PICT filter is free. They included it free with the latest beta

- They rather distinctly said it would *not* support datatypes as datatypes

- It doesn't have datatypes support because datatypes aren't loader/saver
- modules for the most part. They only translate to an IFF format, then pass
- that on to the calling program. Soft-Logik's modules are loader/saver modules
- (when they're completed, don't talk to me about the PICT filter until it's
- finished :) ). I dare say they're also quite a bit *better* than the
- available datatypes. I *will* say that I'm patiently waiting for the PNG
- format to be supported by a loader/saver filter soon. (I hope) :)
