Well I've been going through my 10 CD's of Poser stuff, and building Runtime on my new PC. After doing battle with hundreds of zipfiles I've got these suggestions, that should make everyone's lives easier: Name a file with the same prefix everytime, so all your zips end up together in a folder. example: LM_mouse_c.zip, LM_tudorwalls_nc.zip Name each file with a suffix - C for Commercial and NC for noncommercial. That way the user knows without opening the file whether its good for commercial or noncommercial use Name each file inside the zip with the prefix and suffix- that way the readme is not even needed. Make a readme anyway, just in case. (texture makers should 'sign' every image too) Name each file with the model name, to make things less confusing : LM_V3_kendra_C.zip containing lm_v3_kendrahd_c.jpg, lm_v3_kendrabd_c.jpg, etc. And lastly, if you can try to make a full file tree (runtime:geometry:yourfolder, runtime:library:character:yourfolder) that makes it a thousand times easier to load files. Thanks everyone and thank you all for the massive amounts of freestuff I've collected over the years :) Lyrra the .....
