Hello, as you sure all will know, there was a problem with UVS files created by the PC version of UV Mapper, because its Macintosh version didn't support the new format so far. It will be included sometimes soon, but in the meantime I'm happy to offer a temporary workaround. You can now download a simple UVS Decoder from my website which will do the job. I have to apologize for some lack of a nice looking user interface and advanced drag/drop features, but it will perform the duty and enable you to use all distributed .uvs files without limitation. I will most likely add a much more convenient UVS decoding to a future version of Maconverter (as a fast and quick alternative to using UV Mapper in all its professional glory), so this tool really is just a quick workaround until better times... I'd like to take the opportunity to say a big **THANK YOU!!!** to all PC artists who kindly sacrificed bandwidth over the last few weeks by supplying PCF alternatives for us Mac users. Because of its temporary nature, UVS MapDecoder will not be added to FunStuff, but you can get it from my site [BY CLICKING HERE](http://www.main-rheiner.de/homepage/soft.rabbit/uvsdecoder.phtml). Cheers, MartinC

MartinC - Thanks for all the work you've done to make this available so quickly. I've also had the chance to try it and it worked great with the .uvs files I used. I hope to release a new version of UVMapper Mac with this ability before long, but thanks for the work around until then (I think it will be a great addition to Maconverter as well!)

Again, thanks again for the effort you put into cross-platform support, you too Steve. Now, how about a plug-in for G4 Altivec and MP support? (just kidding of course).
