Hi Qwinn,

Firstly thanks alot for all the work you've done here. I've just recently got hold of a copy of PS:T and am playing through it for the first time.

I'm currently in the process of making some installers for IE games natively for Linux (just as awesome bash scripts), and am planning to include your mods as optional extras as part of the install as well.

Thing is that the .rar format is not that well supported in Linux (it's proprietary and no-one's done the work to properly reverse-engineer it yet), and while one can get a freeware extractor few of the distributions will ship it due to its license constraints. This means extra hoops to jump through to install your mods, which is bad, and some users may not be keen on agreeing to the terms of the freeware unrar license.

So I was wondering if you'd consider repackaging (either as an extra option or instead of) your mod in .zip format, which is easy for anyone in the world to use. I don't think the compression is too much worse, and I think the extra compatibility would be well worth it.

Thanks very much, again, and keep up the awesome work!

Nick
