Hi all, I am hoping to try my hand at skinning and have downloaded and read through the Gimp program and installed the CMX viewer and am more or less ready to go. I then went to Master Skinners and got a couple of their pro kits hoping to take advantage of the wire frame models and other goodies but the files are all compressed in a .rar format. Does anyone know if there are similar files anywhere in a .zip format? Something that would work with Vista 64 bit?

.rar works with 7zip or WinRAR [google them]

Thanks J@tko, as it turns out I found a free program called Freerarextractfrog
Bit of an odd name but apparently it is suppose to work alright, and it is the right price, FREE I'll give it a try and see how it works out. If it goes well then problem solved

skip the frog...go with Extract now. It is free and I use it problem free.

...but WinRAR is what made RAR. (iirc)
