(Actually, in response to my email, Per said he didn't have time to look
into it.)  Dave McClurg has been very helpful getting ASE to work (turns
out there were problems with the way the models had been set up in
3DSMax), so that problem seems to be solved (thanks, Dave!).  I can't
confirm if there really was a problem with the 3DS loader (since I don't
have a copy of 3DSMax), or if that problem was also due to problems with
the models themselves.

No, Tux Racer doesn't load any 3D modeller's file formats currently.  

Btw, any idea when the next release of PLIB will be out (i.e, one that
will incorporates the ASE loader)?
