Then just use Winzip then.
Problem solved.

It's not that big of a difference.

Zip it with whatever program you like, then rename the .zip to .wba.......... done.

Yes you can.
You can rename the extensions to .wba, unzip it manually to the WB folder or use the 'install skin from disk' option in WB Config window.

well, it could be a big difference if as the file gets bigger.

Those on dial up would not agree with most here about the time to download that extra 50 to 100kb or more.

nevertheless, I think Skinstudio's way is more convenient and its ready to go.

So my conclusion is that it could be better, but it is OK as is.
