Glad you all seem to like the texture. Thanks also for the info about zip vs. sit. Ernyoka: I have no idea what that .DS file is, or how to get rid of it - it doesn't even show up on my Mac! I think "Mac grit" is as good a name as any for it... Also: thanks for not putting your stuff in .ace format - I've never even heard of it, don't know if a Mac can handle it, and I'd hate to miss out on all of your cool freebies! :-) Thanks again, everyone. -Mike
