FORTH and BAL. Now there's something I haven't read anything about for a very long time.

I did get a chance to look at some of the Aqsis documentation as well as read some of the history on Renderman.org in the FAQ's.  So that plus the information you are providing really helps tie some things together.

I did finally finish editing the rib file and got a satisfactory tho poor render, but really need to set up a test file with backgrounds and proper lighting and figure out why the Transfom command isn't working properly.  Then try some shaders.  It would be fantastic to get some results like some of the renders I saw in the Aqsis render challenges.

I haven't tried Pixie but will get around to it.  Did notice some of the similarities you mentioned.

Well, I know where there is a highly recommended Windows text editor for this kind of work, but it's not free.  Haven't found a good freebie so may have to byte the bullet and buy one.  I tried the text feature of MSWord, but ended up with an error in the file.  Don't know if it was me or Word, but I'd rather have a dedicated editor.
