Good point. In general, it is better to keep the data and programs separate.
However, to be fair, I'm pretty certain the author only had two things in mind here; he needed to archive the model into parts less than 1 Mb and the RAR format was what he had. Second, he wanted to save the users from downloading and installing the RAR program. So I think he had the best of intentions. My intention here is to try to help those group members who have been blocked from accessing the model due to the technology. And if by doing so I can help the author make his models more accessible, so much the better. So we're on the same page. Hopefully, after a few emails life will be a little better. :) Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2009 6:19 AM Subject: [Papermodels II 40241] Re: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang model Tim, The point/problem here is that it's ridiculous to make a SEA which will generally tie the files to a platform. If it had simply been archived a straight RAR, everyone could enjoy and it. I hope the .exe archive might have been done by accident. As a side note on SEA's, In the past, I archive a lot of large job files using that. However, now that the operating system and processor architecture has changes so much, I can no longer open those SEA's. No loss as the files are old, but I don't do SEA's any more ;) JoeG --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
