I don't know if what you call EHAM and what I am calling DynaHam are the
same thing. I will assume it is so.

At the 320 x 200/400 resolution, DynaHam works more like Sliced-HAM
(it just recalculates the color registers every scan line), so I am 
wondering if after you loaded in the EHAM picture, then saved it, 
might it not have converted it back to a normal HAM picture? at 
low resolution you would not have noticed the difference, except for
a bit of fringing in normal ham modem, since Normal HAM and DynaHam have
the same ammount of colors.

What you could try for me would be to print out a Hi-res DynaHam picture
(640 x 400 x 4096 colors). 

Or am I mistaken and you *were* talking about printing out 640 X 400?
