[Plib-devel] LoadASE problem.

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

Dave:

  Your ssgParser/ssgLoadASE/ssgSaveASE code is a bit brutal when
it finds an error.  If I try to load or save a file that does not
exist, it does an 'exit(1)'!!! Eeeekkkk!

  That's kinda brutal when you've just spent 3 hours building a
model in PPE - and when you try to save it and accidentally open
a write-protected file or a non-existant directory *KABLOOIE*!!!

  Please have ssgLoadASE return NULL if it can't load a file
for *any* reason - and have ssgSaveASE return FALSE if it can't
save.

  This is kinda urgent!

  Also, the _ssgMakePath function chops off the leading path
information or something...we need ssgModelPath to be applied
consistantly across all loaders.  What ssgLoadAC does is:

  * If the path starts with a slash - use it as-is.
  * If the path starts with anything else, prepend _ssgModelPath
    and a slash.

  I'm not sure if that's the *perfect* rule - but it's what existing
applications expect.
