When using the built in zip compressor on the mac it doesn't include the .i and .s files in the module, is there anyway way of changing this? If not, what decent free zip compressors are there for the Mac?

7zip? http://www.7-zip.org/download.html There are three versions for the Mac, apparently: p7zip, EZ_7z and 7zX.

What .s files ?? Are you talking about the files in the .bmx folder? If yes, then you don't want to include that folder anyway. Otherwise, the built in "Archive" context menu happily zips up all the other files you need from a module folder - I use it all the time to package up mine.

oops, typo'd that I think, the .i and .a files eg. entity.release.macos.x86.i and entity.release.win32.macos.a files. They just weren't being included in the zip for some reason. I can see compress on the context menu, don't remember seeing archive , will look again, cheers.

Well, after a restart it now works fine :)
