My problem is that I eventually upgraded to the netrender version which uses 
a parallel port dongle, and I can't get it to work with my current 
motherboard. It has a legacy port on it but it appears to be non-functional 
with the dongle. So even though the last version I paid for was 9.5, the 
latest I can run is 8.5 and that is only because I kept the CD. Lose or 
damage the CD and your sunk

Back when I was actively working on exporters I got many requests from 
artists who wanted me to improve my RIB exporter because they prefered 
modeling in A:M to most other packages. Even made a little money at it but 
eventually I hit a wall and couldn't take it any further as I am not all 
that good of a programmer. Some of them I believe were working for large 
studios, or at least that is what they told me. OBJ export was pretty 
popular as well. Don't think I ever got any feedback from anyone using the 
POV exporter.
