that is true.. and yet just an excuse. so many other developers manage
it quite well to redistribute their software properly - developers who
know how to do dynamic and/or static linking so that the programs won't
break outside of exactly defined lab conditions.
and while we are at it, i don't get why Softimage users after over 10
years and who knows how many paid upgrades still have to jump through so
many hoops just for installation and starting. Whats the deal will all
the sourcing and tcsh-using? And why do we have to use a console to
start Softimage as a default at all? not sure about you, but i really
don't need that cozy 90s SGI-feeling anymore... Also the fixation on
certain graphics cards and drivers is beyond my grasp. It's not as if
Softimage is doing anything special here...
