I downloaded the program yesterday, and played around with it last night. I would use the program, except for one problem. In the documentaltion you say that the BMPs must be kept in the windows directory. However, I like to keep my windows directory free of any clutter. With 20 or more bitmaps, you can see my problem. So, is there anyway that I can run newspaper(v.13) but keep my zipped BMP files in a separtate directory? I tried a few things, but all that happened was that the bmp files got unziped, but they stayed around, so that I had not only the ziped files but the origional bmp files as well! (Sigh) Thanks, Paul __________________________________________________________________ | | |"...and on the eigth day god created the Sauter Mean Diameter." | | | | - D.W.Senser | |________________________________________________________________|
