Always a possibility but I find it annoying, to say the least, to have
to write around other people's bugs. Why can't modelling programs "get
it right" in the first place? Then there'd be no need for these
shinnanegans...

Still, I'll e-mail a simple Rex .OBJ off to you (not the final quality
one I'd like to use, because that's big - but the one I've been using
for testing).

Yup - sPatch, Unreal, 3D Labs X29 (an OpenGL "test" utility) all
render in a window (although Unreal's OpenGL seems decidely slow at
present - something they plan to address, I hear). Most other stuff I
tend to use fullscreen (actualy Unreal is Usually full screen but
they've got some bugs at the moment with D3D / TNT usage which makes
switching between windowed and full screen unreliable - no other App I
use has this problem - but their TNT D3D is still better than their
OpenGL support IMO).
