So I went to grab the latest version, and I saw it uses SubVersion. I've never installed a SubVersion client for my Mac (OS 10.4.11 G5), and it wants me to start bash-ing about in a Terminal window. I'm a reasonably skilled under-the-hood guy, but I'm scared! I can't find a step-by-step, here's-how-you-set-it-up for SubVersion Client (v 1.3.1 from subversion.tigris.org). I want to play, but I don't want to break something. Can you point me to guidance? Thanks! --Neil Mike–

AS 3.0 applications would therefore be able to pilot the creation of OpenGL 3D resources (vertex buffers, textures, rendering targets ...) and of 3D scenes (camera, lights...) and have OpenGL render such scenes to textures to be transferred to AS 3.0 bitmaps, and then injected in Flash scenes. PV3D already offers the level of abstraction needed to let AS 3.0 developers take advantage of the rendering power of OpenGL through high level objects. The adaptation of PV3D to OpenGL would probably require only a small subset of OpenGL. Philippe As far as GPUs are concerned I was thinking that there is an easy way to take advantage of
