This could be a mixture of two things: 1) All files by agnes are zipped Mac files which are (probably accidently) MacBinary encoded. This is an unlucky setting of the zip compressor which damages the files for both Mac and PC, because everything should be named "xxx.bin" in order to extract properly on the Mac as well. Dear Mac Poser creators: Please pay attention to this - turn OFF MacBinary if you zip stuff for the net. You can turn it off in your zip compressor, or you can use my tool to delete the resource forks to be safe. The best choice is probably to use the converter to export for the PC and then zip it - suits everyone on both platforms without restrictions. If you ever need to use MacBinary, preserve the .bin extensions, otherwise there will be garbage. Maconverter is repairing it on conversion, but this is no excuse for doing the mistake in the first place. Back to the original topic... 2) Maz once told me about a problem with the french Poser and .pcf - some Geometries .obj's seem to have capital letters. Unfortunately, Mover 1.01 is strictly case sensitive. Until it will be fixed, the only workaround on PC would be to rename the seedfile to lowercase in France for non-french .pcf, and to uppercase everywhere else for french .pcf files. Thankfully no problem on Mac, because Maconverter is not case sensitive. Hope that helps, MartinC
