[MacDV] Re: Saving Files

[Gordon B. Alley]

Some PC .exe files are self-extracting archives. I believe some Mac 
archive applications (like StuffIt) can extract the archived data 
from these files without having to actually execute them.

As for saving a web animation, I haven't used it myself, but I 
believe SnapZ Pro can capture it into a move.
