Sure, you might think that that is big, but at 300DPI a 24bit scanner would only have to scan about 4000 square feet to fill a file that big. 4000 square feet is pretty large. You could make a map of your office's floor plan at a scale of 1 inch = 1 inch. Imagine your entire office complex scanned at 300DPI and in beautiful 24-bit color! -Tom -- tlimonce@drew.edu Tom Limoncelli "Freedom and justice tlimonce@drew.uucp +1 201 408 5389 are opposites" tlimonce@drew.Bitnet limonce@pilot.njin.net -me
