Hi,

For one of our clients we are thinking of using OpenSG as the
SceneGraph API of choice because of all the good features it provides.
 However there was a doubt about the usability of OSB as the storage
format in a commerical applications. The doubt came because of the
following statements in the OpenSG Starter Guide
(OpenSG-1.6.0-StarterGuide.pdf, written on Aug 25, 2005) :

Section 12.3 : Using BIN/OSB Files

"In versions after 1.2 there is a new binary file format called OSB
which is not quite as sensitive to changes to the library as BIN. I
still wouldn't use it as a storage format, but it doesn't need
rewriting files every time the library changes a little bit."

Why can't OSB  be used as the storage format (like e.g. Performer's
pfb or Optimizer's csb or Inventor's iv)  ? Is there any problem/issue
with OSB ?
This is important because the choice of SG API to use will also
depends upon the storage format that it provides.

It would be really nice if somebody could shed some light on this.

Thanks,
