-Or you may need non-square textures to be uncompressed, but square textures to be PVRTC compressed for speed for only a certain platform. (iPhone, cough)  RTPack.exe is very powerful and can do this kind of thing with ease.+Or you may need non-square textures to be uncompressed, but square textures to be PVRTC compressed for speed for only a certain platform.
