I was wrong.  Got it confused with the BMP datatype Commodore put out.
Sorry.

If you can verify this, have you passed on the URL to the developer of
AWeb.  AMosaic was crashing all the time during loading of images.  I
removed ZGif and went with another gif datatype and had no more problems.

I've been able to access pages with AWeb that instantly brought AMosaic
and IBrowse down.  It's a relief to use a browser that doesn't require a
reboot every other page.
