  That would of course be appreciated but I think that the one thing
on many peoples minds at this point is what exactly should a .df3 file
contain ? What does it do and how can a person control it to make the
media conform to a shape at will ?
  If you can offer even a simple overview of what can be gained and where
to start you would be doing a lot of people here a big favour. My self
included. I have some vague notions and have explored the field a bit but
my own results to date have not yet been satisfactory and I owe that mostly
to lack of sufficient input from a knowledgeable source. I found the docs
sorely lacking on this subject for some reason.
