				I have absolutely no idea when it comes to 3D data, and i need a procedure, or dll that will convert *.asc to *.x to be used in a program i am currently developing.. If anyone could be so kind to do a procedure that does this, the favor will not go overlooked.
 Thanks a lot!
 Mike

				Have you looked at 
MilkShape?  Or are you trying to write a competitive product to it?  I think it uses DLLs as plug-ins but I haven't used it in a while but it might give you some ideas or a method to do the conversion within your program.

				Straker, i have looked at milkshape, and if they did have dll's as stand alone converters, it would be awsome (they would have to be free)... Brice, i have already thought of that, but the .asc format is not included and plus i dont know what the terms for 3d data mean, so even reading the data would give me the problem of where to write the data in the output file.

				.asc file? What is the source of this file? Asc means ASCII, in others terms, a suite of ascii characters. A lot of programmers use that to design a strings composed file. So your file could contains a lot of differents things!
Did you try to edit it in a text editor, like notepad? link it so we could say what it contain!
