PBMPLUS is truly wonderful for manipulating images, but xloadimage lets me take a directory chock full o' images and display any of them, without making me determine in advance what format each one is in, or worry about whether it is compressed or not, or whatever. Software tools are great, but there are times when a Swiss Army knife is useful too :-)... -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view." --Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Return of the Jedi"
