Plugin: cross-platform compatibility

Hi all Coldstone plugin developers, especially PoG plugin developers.

Coldstone creates plugins that can work on both the Windows and Macintosh platform. It's a very nice feature that should make every PoG gamer out there happy. However, it doesn't.

Please remember when uploading a plugin that a .hqx file or .sea file doesn't mean a thing to a windows user. Please simple stuff the file (i.e. create a .sit) and, even better, add that it requires stuff it expander to decompress in the description.

Putting the Windows users aside means that a large chunk of PoG players will never be able to play your plugin.

I'm not going to say the obvious solution :).

luck is beating the odds, bad luck is when they are the odds of having something bad happen to you.

The newest version of stuffit expander for windows can unstuff a .hqx file just fine. It is the .cpt(compact pro) and .sea(self-exracting archives) that seem to post the largest problems for the windows user.

I zipped my file... it's more compatible for cross-platform, since it tends to be the Windows standard, and most Mac users have Stuffit Expander, which also unzips.
