I thought ToB was (finally) released for the Mac earlier this year?

EDIT: Yep :).

Late last year, even.

And for what it's worth, we can open .rar files just fine, too. The only problem files are self-extracting .exes, and even some of them can be expanded without any problems.

Umm.. not that it matters much...

EDIT: I just noticed that the same can be said of the entire thread, so I probably won't feel bad about it... <_<

Ah yes, self extracting .exe's are what I was getting confused with ;).

For what it's worth, they really annoy me. I'll never understand why so many IE mod makers insist on using them - using .zips or .rars damnit!

Fortunately it seems Quitch is one of the "good guys" :P.

Putting an uninstall option would'nt be to much to ask would it, I can't remember the amount of times I've had to uninstall and reinstall BG2 due to someones mod leaving files after I've removed it.

This mod will be in WeiDU format, and WeiDU will be handling both the installation and uninstalling of this mod.

yea and for me because i have a modem exes are almost always bigger.

As far as RAR/ACE goes, i prefer rar, but that's because i've been using it much longer. Their on par with each other and i can get a few files to get smaller on ACE and vis versa on RAR.

Zip i keep around only because some sites (and people) require me to use zip format.

My experience has always been that RAR provides better compression than ACE.
