Wrong again, Cliff.  PowerSolids is (actually WAS) an add-on (plug-in),
not 
part of the base version of Rhino.  You also might want to check dates and

such before you post outdated info - note that the latest version of
PowerSolids offered was for the previous version of Rhino (V3) and doesn't

exist for the current one (V4).

The IntegrityWare "kernel" is being used however for MoI3D as far as I 
know...
