Well I found I needed to add a folder called Tazfile inside the track folder.
This Tazfile folder has the text file that contains the text list.
However now that ase2taz now reads the file and reports no errors.
I do not get any track zones at all in RV.

Is it creating a Track-Name.taz or Default-Name.taz ?
If the latter then you'll need to rename to see the zones.

I don't know how this tool works at all, but I know that some of these great little RV-tools create a default file name as not to over write the original.

I have tried renaming it to match the track name.
However the track zones still do not show up in RV.

Hi, I know this is late but I dropped in just now.

The tazfile is not a folder. It is a text file and it should be where the ASE file is.
Suppose you have the following files in your track folder:
'mytaz.txt' (text file listing the box names in order)
'myboxes.ase' (ase file, exported boxes)

ase2taz -f=mytaz.txt myboxes.ase will create 'myboxes.taz' from 'myboxes.ase'+'mytaz.taz'
ase2taz -f=mytaz.taz -o=test.taz myboxes.ase will create 'test.taz' from 'myboxes.ase'+'mytaz.taz'

If you name the tazfile 'Tazfile' instead of 'myboxes.txt', you can omit the -f= part and type less.

ase2taz myboxes.ase will create 'myboxes.taz' from 'myboxes.ase'+'Tazfile'
ase2taz -o=test.taz myboxes.ase will create 'test.taz' from 'myboxes.ase'+'Tazfile'

Beware, all ase2xxx programs overwrite existing files without warning.

just to simplify gabor's comment, the easiest way imo is this command:

ase2taz myboxes.ase will create 'myboxes.taz' from 'myboxes.ase'+'Tazfile'

just be sure that there is a text file containing your list of boxes named to "tazfile" in the same folder where the exported ase file is that contains the boxes from max.

so you have to have:

1. text file containing your list of boxes named to tazfile
2. an ase file containing the boxes exported from max
3. both in the same folder where ase2taz prog is!
