Hello Jacob,
ActiveWorld is morph also, and it cannot be stored to disk. I believed all
morphs share the same storage mechanism, and that we are considering to
remove that mechanism. Sorry for wrong claim. You are right, some morphs
can be saved. Perhaps morphs I tried saving were dependent on the
ActiveWorld.
regards,
Vaidotas
