So, is it legal if we use > these pictures in another document/icon/etc. and acknowledge the copyright? 2 queries, now that you mention it... the other day i also discovered this directory and decided to alter and use one of the images as an icon for something or other. that being the case, i'd also like to know about copyrights and such. however, that is not my main question here... see i used icon to edit the tiff image, but everytime i tried to save it, it would *disappear* from my directory. if i tried to quit without saving, it'd prompt me SAVE or QUIT and without fail everytime i tried to save it *pouf* it'd be gone. i did this several time with the same result. the file's protections were ok for it to be accessed and updated by the owner (who was me... uhh i mean me as in "ed murphy" not me as in account "me" :)) anyone with a similar experience or possibly a suggestion would both be welcome. ed
