Hey, it was someone else not telling much, what I posted is quite a full description. Yes, I used Windows. The image is much bigger than the executable, so it must be compressed. And I wouldnt be so sure that data starts after that "Opal"-string. No idea how to extract it without Windows. Using Windows, just start the exe and note that for a very short time you see an extract display. Then, leave the program running and look where it was temporarily unpacked. You will find it under the DocumentsAndSetting/<user>/LocalSettings/temp in some newly created subdir. Thats it. At least under XP. With other Win-flavours, the temp may be located somewhere else - but you just need to search for a file named "Opal*". FL
