One should perhaps also make clear that an OXZ is just a zipped OXP - there is essentially no difference between the two... One rather simple step added to the tweaking process: create a folder in AddOns with an .oxp extension, and unzip the contents of the oxz to it (after renaming it .zip). Presto! - an OXP.

Also that an OXZ, to be accepted, must contain a manifest.plist, whereas a pure OXP needs only a requires.plist. The belt'n'braces approach is to include both.

Thank you for this - I will do so, PG. And, thanks for sorting out the link for the updated Frontier game. It is very comforting to know that you are keeping an eye out for where I get things befuddled!

I've not yet managed to find how to successfully compress the Traders Almanach (I think it may be a folder issue) - and the current version only covers some 90 systems in Galaxy One. I hope to redo it from scratch if I can: then I can slap on a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license!
