Hi Ron,

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate that. I just wrote you an
email concerning this problem, before I had a look at this newsgroup.
I got your address from Jim Kress, so just ignore the email, you
helped me a lot with this, because I did not know that the superpatch
includes the isosurface patch. I think there is a lot of information
in this newsgroup about the superpatch, and I will get it working
somehow.

Thanks
