This gets us right to the point of needing a bigger floppy drive or a CBM/AmigaOS2 supported way of splitting files across floppy volumes; a 24bit morerows NTSC picture won't fit on a floppy uncompressed, probably, if it is PAL, certainly, and may not fit compressed, depending on detail in the picture. 880K is starting to squeek a bit, Ami needs new shoes! ;-) A 5-10 Mbyte floppy would be about right; I have disks now that only hold two to half a dozen pictures. Any such thing in sight? Kent, the man from xanth.
