The better output format would be line feed for every data value, separated 
by commas, i.e. the way Poseray writes mesh2 data. That way the file is 
easily readable in all circumstances.

As shall play with this, thanks!

As said above, Poseray's lay-out is a better standard imo.

Yes, the size of the output might be a problem indeed. In general, I want to 
keep my mesh2 files well under the 100Mb.

My system is an 32 bits WinXP-SP3, 3GHz, dual core machine.

Thanks for this already!!
