Anything for 3DSMax 7 to Milkshape?

I'm creating some ships, and find milkshape very cumbersome to work in, and have 3DSMax 7, so I would like to create ships in that, then export them to milkshape for the final stages if neccessary.

I tried using the 3DSMax Plug-in that was listed in "Quick Links to Topics", but I get an error message that says it isn't for my version of 3DSMax. I also did a search for "3DSMax 7" and got no results. So, can anyone help me with this?

P.S.-yes, I went looking for "GMax", but apparently, it's no longer available, at the Alias (now owned by Discreet) site that is linked in Drizzt's tutorial. . .so no dice there either

from max export your object as a 3ds file. Open milkshape, go to import, select Autodesk .3ds importer.

If your looking for gmax, go to: www.turbosquid.com you will find it there along with a game pack or 2 for it.

You can get GMax here.
Then you'll need the MD3 importer for milkshape from here at TLR.
