using ciderpress is still a bit hard for me to figure out, i will
eventually get it.

making a .zip and transferring it over to the Mac is one of the spots
i am having issues with. since i am using a 68k Mac running system
7.6.1 trying to unzip the file fails.

what program are you using on windows to make the .zip (if you are
using windows). I tried using winzip but the Mac i have wont unzip
them.

i dont know if its because i am using a newer version of winzip or
what.
