Yes,but contra for mac and contra for windows aren't the same thing. Contra for windows is .exe and mac can't open it

Oh yes... It is just installer... I'll fix it. Contra can work on both PC and Mac, but installer - only for PC.

By the way, do you have RAR or ZIP archivers?

It's far easier for a Mac to open a .zip then it is to open a .rar.

The nice thing with a Rar file is its 30-50% smaller than a zip (depending on what is being compressed).

Yes, but in the sake of compatibility, you would use a .zip (Yes, a .rar may be slightly smaller, but what about the Mac users - yes there isn't too many of them - but it's still an extra fan, such as Avenger here).

If you REALLY were so eager about compression and not about compatibility, you'd go with a .uha.

such is true, this is why (on most, but not the latest) I've kept both Rar and Zip versions available. I'll upload one for 2.29

Theres a third point, that really has sold Rar's for me... thats the program itself. The Rar file browser is simply fantastic. It has an increadible range of extension support, and it maintains the internal directory structure of the file, unlike winzip and many other popular compresion tools. And, it maintains an acceptable compatability level and is reasonably well propogated across the user base.

Its not as simple as Compresion vs Compatability. Its more like Compresion vs Compatability vs Ease of Use vs Propogation. Winrar has the best blen of all 4, while the zip has only the highest compatability.

Toxin General will be finished in good time. As it stands, only assault is done, while your next public release will contain your GLA generals. By the way, anyone that reads this and happens to have thier own questions, I'd seriously reccomend that You start your own topic or post in another right one. Until; I reccomend this topic is ... locked. *Dramatic music*
