"I:Poser4RuntimeLibrariescharacterRandymToy Mouse.obj" Well, it's not a great idea to keep the .obj in the library folder. There are various reasons for this, not all of which are fully understood by me, but as I understand it, some versions of Poser will choke when they encounter this. Best place to put the .obj is in the Geometries folder, and to reference it so that it works on any machine (not just your ;-), set it up to have relative paths like this: :Runtime:Geometries:Randym:toy mouse.obj Obviously, you'd make a directory in the Geometries folder called Randym first ;-) To zip it all up, make a directory in the ROOT of any drive and call it Runtime. Make a Geometries folder, a Libraries folder, a Character folder under Libraries, etc. In other words, set up all the paths and folders as they would appear in a real Poser setup. Then zip it all up, making sure you keep the path information and so on. Test it once to make sure it all unzips the way you zipped it, and then people can just unzip to their Poser directory and stuff will fall right into place. :) bonni
