I think the texts and images are worthy to also be included in a .PAR
repair option so that they can be repaired when they get damaged. You
could do a seperate set of .PAR for them. You could also include the
text and images in the .RAR archive when it is up to me.
Waste of space imho is to include sample.mpg's in .PAR repair specialy
when that is combined with the main RAR achive.
