 I've been messing around with Renderman and RIB files for a couple
of days and need some help. I can pretty much get everything to work
except textures.  I've tried everything and can't get a simple texture
to display from a RIB file I created. I can use 3DReality and add a
texture fine, but I can't do it from my RIB file.

 I've tried things like:

 Surface "SD_Simple_tx" "txmap" "/NextLibrary/Textures/brick.tex"
 Surface "texmap" "texname" "brick"
 ...

 Does anyone know how to do this?  Does anyone have any docs on the
RIB syntax?  I bought the RenderMan Companion book but that doesn't
really help. Also, does anyone know how to compile shader function 
source to a *.slo file?

 Thanks for the help,
		Mike
