i received two dxf files:
550.dxf
FACE.DXF

not sure how useful they are
550.dxf has only VERTEX and POLYLINE sections.
no LINE or 3DFACE sections are present.

FACE.dxf has only one face

i used AC3D to create test models in DXF format for me

i did a commit which should add quad support

for the file snoo-cat.bmp
at first the PLIB image loader complained about an unexpected EOF
then i converted it to a 24 bit BMP and still wouldn't load
i'll have to look into that.
