Praises again goes to 3DZver!

Just when I have started to work on Max 2009. You update the script, this time even with new features!
Thank you very much for this 3dZver!

(You forgot to change the About-page. It still says 1.5 for Max 5.1. I also think you should put in "Modified by 3DZver" somewhere on that page.)

Best regards
