How do I use the Victoria .bin morph files being uploaded? Gy

What browser are you using to download them? I suspect that it is not properly translating them from binhex to zip files. You may have to look at your preference settings to see if it's correctly configured. I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.7.2, and it downloads correctly as zip files onto my computer when I download them.

They are zip files. There's .bin files inside of them.

Gyro, there was a note before about them--I'm using IE5 on a PC, BTW. Whoever it was said to rename the files with .obj extensions and they would work. They do--and I've been using them. Diane B

Thanks Diane :>

I found the answer to the problem. Apparently my zip utility was converting them into Stuffit files. You can do what Diane B advices or just get the free Stuffit Expander utility from Aladdin's website at www.aladdinsys.com. My sincerest apologies for the snafu.

I'll work on it. In the meantime, I rezipped my files using a different utility which should avoid the problem and reposted them. They work properly now.

I had this problem in a zip file (I'm on a MAC) It turned out the .bin files were jpegs. Go figure. This happened with the Victoria iris color download. James
