Lith Unwrap works identically to 3DMax4's unwrapper so i doubt you'd find it much more help, and Max5 has a bloody amazing Unwrapper.

you could try [url=http://www.chilliweb.co.uk]chilliskinner[/url which is pretty good.
there was a remake of the Max5 one for Max4 i'll try to find it in my back archives of polycount.

Do i need to use all the uvw modifiers in max to get the texture placed right or just the unwrap uvw?

oh and can i use multiple textures cos that would be easier by this i mean have the hull texture on the bottom then on top of that could i have the windows, registration and name on a layer above the hull layer?

not sure if this will make any sense!

... Max Skinning (how i do it) generally goes like this ...

select the surface i want to skin, UVW Map Modifier and set a basic map, then Unwrap UVW Modifier to edit it into fit in the map right.

try to make sure the major sections of the model line up, and no you can't have multiple UV Maps per object only per model - if you need to use another map select the faces you need as a seperate map and detach them as a seperate object.

this is a limitation in the Dx/3DS/MD3/MD2/MDL formats
if you need to create decal maps, then you'll have to do this either as part of a seperate map and use the "detail mapping" function or just combine with the texture itself. eitherway you'll get the same result.
