I unstuffed the .rar files (StuffIt Expander works). I noticed that they 
are .gig files, but they have names longer than 31 characters. This goofs 
up the ability for EXS to see it, although it does have the .gig extension. 
Translator couldn't see it as a .gig file either, at first.

The truncation puts a ... in the middle of the file and the point 15. At 
this point any of these programs stops reading the file name, thus missing 
the .gig extension, and thus not being able to be "seen." I guess this is a 
bug or something.

(BTW, there's no File Type defined for Giga, since it's a PC generated 
format, so it's just the extension that identifies it as a Gig file.)

I tried renaming them back to 31 chars with the .gig extension, but at 
first that didn't work. The I renamed them back to PanCresc.gig and 
PanStac-Flutr.gig, before the ..., respectively. This solved the issue - 
loaded fine, of course with the "errors" Ned pointed out.
