	Turbo Silver Pro FP-XT6/6000SUX (or whatever they're calling it
these days :-) ) has texture mapping available right now.  Actually getting
the image mapped on the object is a wee bit convoluted (with Turbo Silver),
but it's possible.

	Scott Peterson demoed Sculpt-4D for me in Chicago, and I was
pleased.  It addresses many of my primary complaints with Sculpt.  Rick
Unland also seems to like it a lot.
