You know what, this guy deserves a big attaboy. It is really a slick software. I love using it and now that it has the mouse wheel controls of zoom and rotate, it is just a dream to use. He is not taking donations but I wish I could show some gratitude for his work somehow. Thanks for your efforts, you are really doing a nice job.
