Rachael was just a wee bit disorganized. She would forget to include a texture bitmap when she zipped up a breed file and she often failed to answer her Emails. I never did figure out why she kept changing her name. Maybe because she was very young and that's just the way kids are. Whatever the reasons behind these behaviors, collecting Rachael's creations and getting them to work sometimes drove Minibyte crazy. She had a good enough picture to create a replacement texture file for the missing Anglo Dachshund bitmap, but Minibyte completely gave up on attempts to texture Rachael's Dali Tiger.
In spite of the frustrations, Minibyte thinks that Rachael's creativity and hard work are too good to be lost to the Petz Community. So she decided to share Rachael's files with you. She asked me to organize and to host them. We decided to put everything into one Archive and to call it "Animal Trax" because that was the most stable and well known of Rachael's sites. I've done the best I could and hope you enjoy everything here.
Oh! You don't know who I am, do you? I am Rodders. Rachael adopted me from her Raggz Cat breed file June 1, 1999. Now, you have to remember that back then there was no silliness about having "unique" petz. People simply SHARED special petz by giving them away as presents or making multiple copies available for adoption. Rachael posted me for adoption on the PFM site and Carolyn Horn, who loves Alley Catz, adopted me. Well, Carolyn gave a copy of me to Minibyte and Minibyte is going to share me with you. But do me a really big favor... When Rachael posted me for adoption she said, "Rodders is a very sweet Catz and he gets very cold easily. So please remember to put a woolly hat on him!" Well, Carolyn put a woolly hat on me. And Minibyte put the wooly hat on me. If you adopt me, please, please, please give me some new clothes. I've been wearing this stupid hat for years. Years! And I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT!!!
