Exchanging Norns on the Internet

The Norns in Creatures 2 can be easily stored on your hard drive, or even e-mailed to a friend over the Internet. You can use the Export selected creature option on the File menu to remove a Creature from Albia. Once you have selected a folder to store your creature in, a file will be created that contains that Norn. By default, it will be called "creatures_name.exp". For example, if you exported a creature called Alice, to your desktop you’d get a file called "Alice.exp".

This file can be then e-mailed as you would e-mail any other file – check out the instructions for your e-mail program to find out how to send attachments. You can also put Norns onto your own personal home page so that other users can have a look at them too.

If you wish to send a Norn directly by e-mail without having to go through the exporting stage, you can use the Send to option on the File menu.
