The file information screen would come back up flashing the 'GIF89a' version tag. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Is life an illusion? | Drew Lawson | | Or does it just seem that way? | dlawson@grebyn.com | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
