Installation

    You might already unzipped this archive file. Double click or do any opening operation make you start to use this application.

    *** INFORMATION ***
    First time you launch this, you will be warned like "Couldn't load a Shapes file, 'Shapes.shpA.'"
    You can use this application without that file. However, when using "Texture mode", you cannot see any textures. To avoid this, copy or move "Shapes.shpA" from Marathon Infinity game data to this current directory. Then you can see the textures.
    (Only infinity textures done well. M2 or third party Shapes files will cause error. This is recognized bug.)
