XCC Universal Container Reader

A lot of people have said they use XCC for opening their .big files. I downloaded this a few months ago on my windows 98 system (Yes, yes I know.) It destroyed windows. They have a convient footnote now about how it is not supported under windows 98, but just as a warning to others as unfortunate in computer area as I am "Do not use XCCunder windows 98. It's not worth reformatting and then reinstalling everything." With that out of the way, I'm now downloading BIGPop. What do you guys recommend in the way of .big extractors (besides XCC)?

use xucr, which you can get from generalsfiles.com much better than xcc

Oh well I'm glad it works for you waspo. It really sucked when I lost everything on my computer. Did you get my PM about your avatar?

While I couldn't compare it, I know bigpop has been working well for me, despite the fact that I can't seem to open any of the things I get out of it *cough*.
