Postscript is good because it doesn't tie you to a particular resolution - you can view it on the screen _and_ print it nicely, from the same file. "ghostscript" is the universal postscript program, have you got that ? It can be used to convert ps to bitmap formats, as well as viewing and printing, if you want to; but gif is a bit tricky - the unisys patent makes life awkward for "free" software. (Isn't that due to expire shortly-ish ?) Trick is to look for programs to convert another bitmap to gif, and find one that starts from a format that ghostscript can produce ... given the speed of modern machines, it may be easier just to stay with postscript, unless you need web-native images. -- Richard Robinson "The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes" - S.
