[MINC-users] Intel mac Display-1.4.2 not loading binary .surface obj files

[Andrew Janke]

Hi Theo,

This may be an interesting "feature" of the OSX GLUT implementation
biting you.  I would be interested to know if this works if you give
the full .obj file name.  ie: /home/theo/blah/bue/foo.obj

If so then start Display by itself with no filename and then under
File->Preferences set the Current working Directory option and then
Quit using the file menu.

Then try again with a relative path.
