Yeah, goto www.macromedia.com to the download section for a good copy. You will get a full functional 30 day trial, and the option to purchase it after that.

Gotta agree with Kester here -- not getting into a long-winded discussion about piracy here, but "I'm gonna buy it later" doesn't make obtaining it illegally any less wrong.

Macromedia does offer trial versions which are just as good as the real thing -- except you can't use them for commercial purposes, which is logical. 30 days is plenty of time to save up for the real thing and will allow you more than a sampling of the applications included in the Studio MX suite.

first off, you do know that is mac software that you have on Win XP? Second, what are the weird files there, they all are normal looking to me? third, you can get a free trial version from the macromedia website, it is a little hard to find with the announcement of Studio 8 but go to the main download page and it will be there.

The only legal free version is the 30 day trail version that you can download from the Macromedia web site. There are no others.

The file with the .rsrc extension is in essence a compressed data file used by the Dreamweaver installer application which can open the file, expand the encapsulated files and install them in the proper location on your computer. This is normal because it is part and parcel of the Dreamweaver install and has no meaning or value in any other context.

The Dreamweaver installer does not have an extension because it has associated Type and Creator codes that identify it to the Mac OS as an executable program. The Type and Creator codes are far more powerful and flexible than the crude three character extensions used in Windows and Unix.

Before you ask the .DS_store file is normally invisible on the Mac and if this were in a .dmg file would control how the OS X Finder displays the contents of the image. Every time you change something in Finder's View menu a .DS_Store file is created, or modified, in the currently selected folder.

Double click on the Dreamweaver installer and it will open the .rsrc file.
