Missed the original post just up one attrib, so I'll answer here.  The reason is 
that I wanted to use Cataloger (an AREXX script found on Aminet) in order to 
automate the process of making nice indexes.  I did try to replace the new loader 
with the older one, but every time it tried to load an image through the AREXX 
script, it would bring up a requester saying something to the effect that 'this 
is an old loader...blah blah' and would thus render this no longer an automated 
process.

I suppose there may be a way to have the script auto-cancel this requester, but 
I'm unfamiliar with AREXX for the most part.

Hmm...is this a commercial product or FW/SW?
