Hello Greg! That sounds great. A while ago I tried to I the files you mentioned, but did not have much luck. Today, with more knowledge, I may be able to handle them.
One question: in your approach, do I need to export everything? This this... Do I need to write the .Rad and .Mat and .VF files? Cheers On Sep 14, 2017 00:30, "Gregory J.
