Not a good idea. Each picture is 307200 bytes long uncompressed, and there are ten of them. Compressed, you're still looking at somewhere around 1.5 meg, and that's before uuencoding them (which will increase their size). The pictures are 640x480x8 bitplanes (mono). If somebody were to convert these files to 640x480x4 IFF, they might be made small enough to post. Greyscale bandwidth would be lost in the process, though. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM "$16,000!
