Which it uses depends upon the video config in Arachne.pck Hicolor mod....... convert JPEG to 16m color BMP any other mode.... convert JPEG to 256 color BMP Bernie??? ;-) Does it ever use -colors 16 ??? -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/download.htm
