As a Mac user, I echo the concerns made above. We can easily open zips, and have control over how much of what goes where. I do not like any software (I have 5 computers, both PCs and Macs) putting things where IT feels they should go. And, as has been noted in other threads and newsgroups, spyware and other trojans are easily slipped inside self-extracting fully-automated installers, including this one. An attractive, professional-looking package is a nice idea, and I'm glad that you investigated it, but it should be something which doesn't create more hassles than it solves. To my mind, what would be more professional would be proper, informative "readmes" as TEXT files. (I can't open DOCs on my Mac and carrying them over to this PC to read is a nuisance.) Carolly
