Thanks, Richard. I really appreciate how cogent your replies are. I see your point about the Examples name, and I have no doubt that the documentation will be excellent considering the communication by developers on this forum. I have gone through and compiled nearly all the examples since I posted earlier. As I said, I am using the SVN build so maybe there's some lag. The examples that don't compile appear to be using the old Loader3d scheme without the new parameter that the Asset Library requires. AnimBlendTest in particular is one I have been hacking away at to try to get working.
