[Plib-devel] New ASE loader/saver.

[Steve B. <sjb...@ai...>]

FYI:  The latest CVS version of PLIB contains Dave McClurg's ASE loader
and saver.  PPE users should find it "just works" - for other programs,
if you use the new ssgLoad and ssgSave routines then you'll get ASE
formats without changing your code at all - if you load or save files
by type explicitly then 'ssgLoadASE' and 'ssgSaveASE' work just like
all the other loaders/writers.

Dave tells me that the ssgParser.cxx/h should be useful to other loader
writers - I havn't looked at it yet.

He also says:

> The only thing remaining for ase support is key/mesh
> animation but any model should load (sans animation).

This is great news for PPE.

The bad news is that this is a pretty significant addition, and
I should probably make a new 1.1.xx series release of PLIB before
going to a stable 1.2.0 version...this is too good to leave out
of 1.2.
