Ack!  That happens sometimes when I edit a 3D model using AC3D.  Seemingly
at random, it'll replace relative file paths with absolute paths - which
means that (as in this case) the program will look for their locations
on MY hard drive rather than where they should be.

I'll try to get to fixing it - but tonight I have to complete a chapter
of a book I'm writing with Mark Collins - and he needs that by 10am
tomorrow.

If you are desperate to get something going, either:

  1) Hack a script to erase all of the leading path up to but NOT
     including 'image/'.  Apply this to all of the '.ac' files.

OR

  2) Make symlinks to make it appear as if the files are installed
     wherever you have them.

I'm terribly sorry about this - but whenever it happens, I have no
way to know that the files were corrupted - because (of course)
they continue to work on my machine.
