Thanks for the kind comments, folks! I hope some of you are able to use these despite their limited utility. More content to follow in the near future.

Hey rodman!
It would be nice if we had more content shared here and on the FTP. I know that Mamba and LSX export ILD files and several more allow for import of these materials. I suspect the ability to import but not export ILD format is one of those business models to 'encourage' purchase of the source program that they were written in. I understand this logic to some extent, but it is reminiscent of the copyright protection wars over the past several decades. (Imagine if in the late 70s battling VCR companies were able to force movie releases to be limited to only VHS or beta-max format!)
There is still an advantage to having the laser show's original format playing in its native program though. Adjusting to your environment especially for multi-projector set-ups as well as the ability to modify aspects of the show (source frames, color pallets, etc.) are some advantages to having the original program as opposed to importing ILD files.
All of this said, there was no political message intended with the material I posted, I just want to give back to this awesome community of enthusiasts.

My pleasure. You could go with LSX too, Mark. If you do get MIII however, let me know by PM as I can save you some time with a couple things.
