- The manuals are NOT lacking, the CD is brill and full of examples, I guess
- you couldn't copy them, like you did with the program itself. (There's a dongle-
- free version out there in copy-land!). SHAME!!!!
- And DON'T even think about running 3DSR2 on anything less than a 486,
- loaaads of memory and free diskspace and a good graphics-card/large screen.
-
- Get decent, buy a good 486, buy a CD-player, buy 3DSR2, and hey presto!
- You've got a clean conscience, $3000 less and a great 3D animation package.
- (Sorry! I mean a great PC animation package.....)
