We're using PM5 also. We continue to have a problem which you may be
alluding to above. When we save a graphic as PCX from Photoshop, 300dpi,
sized at 1.2" H x 0.8" wide, for example, PM seems to import it and assume
it is around 100dpi because it is sized around 3 times bigger. It just
occured to me as I am describing the problem, is it possible that PM is
assuming that the resolution of the PCX graphic is the same as the line-
screen frequency of your target printer? I *am* interested if your solution
speaks to this problem. (I just happen to have another old M4 kicking
around, which I've been planning to upgrade to PM5. Would it be easy to get
the filter from there? Or should I look for it on an ftp site?
