Retrieving Garment.cr2.bin
-----------------------------------
Well, I tried a bunch of un-zip programs, got exactly the same messed-up CR2 files. Finally, I began comparing those files in both Notepad and Wordpad, began to wonder...

I do not know how or why the files came to be munged, but I've found a fix.

First of all, check you have both Notepad and Wordpad.

Open GARMENT.cr2.bin file with Wordpad. Start and end look like...

 UniformBlouse.cr2                                              cr2TPZ3A
    
     >‘  ":¸à¯5àˆ¹à¼3   mBIN                ‚à•à¾  {

version
	{
	number 4.2
	}
figureResFile :Runtime:libraries:character:M_VickiClothes:UniformBlouse.obj
etc
etc
etc
	displayMode USEPARENT
	locked 0
	}
	setGeomHandlerOffset 0 0.3487 0
}
                                                                                                                 
   "   !    :                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   ༠༠    [ [ à¿


Very carefully delete the characters before first and after last curly brackets to leave...

{

version
	{
	number 4.2
	}
figureResFile :Runtime:libraries:character:M_VickiClothes:UniformBlouse.obj
etc
etc
etc
	displayMode USEPARENT
	locked 0
	}
	setGeomHandlerOffset 0 0.3487 0
}

Save trimmed document as a text file named GARMENT

Close Wordpad, as it lacks 'all files' save option.

Open GARMENT text-file with Notepad.

Save with 'all files' selected as GARMENT.cr2

Now the file appears as a 'real' CR2, readable by CR2Edit and Poser_4.

 :yeah:

Of course, this leaves the CR2 pointing at an OBJ file in same directory, but cleaned-up CR2 may be tweaked by CR2Edit, while C-D writes a new OBJ into !Converted Geometries folder.
