Cheers Rick. I've saved the whole thread as a PDF for further study.
One question ... Were you using Pep Reader or Pep Designer? Most of us cheapskates only have access to Reader or Designer Free y'know.
I have run into PDO designs (Mostly WoW stuff) that have extra texture files included in the zip, which can be pulled into the pdo using Pep reader, but I've never figured out how to generate my own texture files.
