(1) I have now got http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/shortcr2.txt down to 115475 bytes, not much more than a third of the original length! (2) Why the "name GetStringRes(1028,5)" type of format for channel names? I was told that they refer to position in the .RSR file; but if so, how do .CR2 files that call GetStringRes work when I alter the .CR2 file and delete the .RSR file and expect Poser to make another .RSR file? Why not put the channel name literally every time? And why put a "name" command in at all if the name is the same as the second arg in the channel info header line the line before the "{")?
