I understand why this program (like ResEdit) creates a legal nightmare for ARDI to examine, particularly before the dirty team gets on board. My question is has anyone examined the file compression structure of their disks with an eye towards unpacking the files without the installer program? It seems to me that manual installations while a minor pain, should not be that more difficult that installing on a Mac and dragging the files over. There are several utilities out there that can take apart Microsoft's CAB compressed files, which is Microsoft's new compression format which they are using to ship their new Windows apps in. Can we do this on the Mac side? Just a thought. Stu ------------------------------------------------------------ | Stuart G.
