Mark;
Ever think of unzipping it (just double click to get the BOM Archiver to uncompress it) on a Mac and then transferring the resulting files to your PC?

I`m having trouble with it on the PC. I`ve downloaded the file OK but
it will only open with WinRAR & my free trial of that has finished. I
have 7-Zip which is free but it dosen`t seem to recognise the file.
Originally it was directing me on the net to a program called EZM to
open the firmware but I`ve lost this in going to 7-zip. As usual with
PC stuff I find I`m sent up hill & down dale & am now tired of it.
I`ve just had a bout at the scope where I seemingly got a good polar
alignment-(display align is saying I`m only 6 arc seconds off in Azm &
2 arc seconds off in Alt) but go-to`s are pretty crappy. Did have a
look at Mars once I played around trying to locate it. So I`m pretty
tired now & will commence again later..I guess if I had any spare
credit I could pay for WinRAR..! Hope you guys with your Bootcamp have
more success..
