Thanks Michael.
There are several file types in Carrara that are quite a few versions behind the those currently in use.
A long story.
With the DAZ ownership the direct daily contact we used to have with the Eovia programmers has been lost.
(A lot of stuff still in the Daz--too hard-- file I think?)

Steves ideas are great in enabling a good small file. Everyday a new learning experience!
