But haven't tried it yet. Unfortunately Bryce 6 is payware but Bryce 5.5 (free) is still around. This link is working. <http://download.cnet.com/3001-6677_4-10974201.html? spi=0a849c864dd5b7f4811c694cc691a836> I got a copy in 2007 and to install you need a serial number which they give on registration.
