Magic Point is NOT needed to view the slides, Achtung provides it's own
viewer (magic point is
quite limited, especially in areas such as bonobo).  I have shown interest
in developing for Achtung in the past; however, due to school and (IMHO)
unorganized code I haven't done much except play with writing a Lightwave
object importer plugin which was based off of someone else's work.
