I've seen it in Fractint years ago on my old 386.... Maybe I can see if it's
on the net and download it again. As far as I can remember it didn't save
anything as meshes, though. But maybe that's changed now... rendering should
also be a lot faster now on my new 650Mhz Duron.. :o)

Never done any macro's before. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks
