How can it be platform specific when the file format is a standard? As far
as I know Mesh 2 is simply another standard for writing triangle meshes. I'm
not very knowledgeable about this stuff but to me the reason for using such
a  mesh standard is that it is in a raw text format, all operating systems
support the editing and viewing of text files. Now if there was direct
support for Posers .obj file, which I take is a binary format, that would be
more platform specific. Please let me know if my understanding is flawed.
