xfile reading

Jim Adams has an article on that here on gamedev

http://gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1493.asp

that should help you

thanks! i think that''s the first article that loooks really helpful to me. Let me see where i can get. Is there a better
way to identify the GUID''s more inversally than having to look
them up in the header file.

Also has anyone had any experience writing exporters for
maya or truespace? That is theprogram of choice for my modelers,
but i''m wanting to write a custom file format but i haven''t had a
chance to play with the SDk and i haven''t found any great examples to get me started quickly.
