    By following the instructions I got it to work.  This is a very advanced item, and you have to know more than a little about archivers to really make sense of it.

    I cheated a little in that I compressed all those BAT models and their friends from the CAB file into a single .dat file using the Ilive Files2dat utility.  The .dat file is 67.7 megabytes without the lot.  This must be present for the lot to work.  The lot is 48.1KB or 0.481 megabytes, so the whole thing will increase your memory load by 68.5MB.  This is substantial and will be noticed in your game load time and probably in your swap time.

    Running at 1024 x 768 resolution (for old tired eyes) this lot is more than one screen height at magnification 1  Since it is strictly and landmark and costs 0.5B §, I think I am going to delete it from my plugins folder.

    If you really want it, PM me, and I will arrange to send you my ready to stick in your plugins version.
