You don't absolutely need a compression program for PBeM, but it is strongly recommended, because apparently the files don't do too well as attatchments.

Still, you DO have Winzip right?

To install the software which I think is your question ... yes you need WinZip.

It is also highly recommended to have WinZip to zip each bbm file before sending it to avoid corruption of the file.

Its really easy to handle actually.

First you get the trial-version. at www.shareware.com, or something such.
Then you install it. Pretty selfexplenatory.
When you want to unzip a file, right-click it (the file)and choose extract here, or something such.
When you want to zip a file, click it (the file) and choose add to archive or something like that, choose where you want it, and thats it :)

This was all at the top of my head, but i think its pretty much correct anyway.

Hi. Downloaded all the software but having problems with the teamroster. I've made one/saved it (and a version 2 of the team as i wanted to playtest against myself) but can't get it to load into the game.

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated. Thanks
