    Are you able to take the individual .model/ .desc/ and the lot files of a download and datpack them into one file. I'm not really sure if that was possible so I thought I would Ask before doing it.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I wanted to clean up and organize my plug-ins folder so I just wanted to be safe than sorry in combining the files. I'll make sure that anything that needs to be loaded in a certain order stays unpacked. Thanks again.

    You need to use care with datpacker. It can be a little overenthusiastic. Be sure you limit what it does, so that if you have to maintain something later, repacking the affected lots won't be much of a burden. For single lots, I recommend files2dat by ilive.
