So come on Lordroy i think your being a tad to suspicious. Not to mention your only one person wanting it zipped, and about 99.999% like it as an exe since it takes about only 2 minutes to install. I hate to break it to you but he isnt a major company so he doesnt need to make it your way cause you dont feel safe with it. I mean the files already 23 MBs as its and I doubt his server would like another one up just cause you ask for it. Basically if you dont like it or trust it then dont download it and stop complaining.
Actually, it is not a phobia... according to
THIS WEBPAGE and dictionary.com, a phobia is:
*********************
pho·bi·a (fb-)
n.
1. A persistent,
abnormal, and
irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.
2. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.

I, probably like most people here, am a computer geek. I work at an internet call center, fixing other people's problems. One of the main problems that I see is when someone installs a patch to a program and, without knowing what it does, tries to "fix" it... well that never works as both you and I know...
Oh, and that he is not a major company means that he can just up a quit working on this, if he wanted... and lets just say he was a "freaker" or "hacker" or whatever else you want to call them these days... wanted to screw all of us and put some sub7 virus in it... therefor being able to then control and use our computers from his computer...
Now before I go off on some tangents... I am not saying Plutarck is any of these things... all I was asking was a zip file with all of the files/where they are supposed to go and what they do... take his .exe for example. Rename it to a .zip and then open it... there are some weird java installer stuff in there that I have no idea does... and coming from a game player, I would want to know where and what is installed to my pristine machine, that I built.
I have checked out the readme and I have incorperated some of the things that he has put into his mod into my mod, but I was wondering what else he did, and how he did it, so I asked, not once, but twice if he could make a zip file and put it where I could d/l it..
oh... and the reason most people like executible files... is that they are lazy and dont want to do the work themselves... or dont know how to...
My request is neither ABNORMAL nor IRRATIONAL, therefor my fear (if you must call it that) is not considered a PHOBIA...
