I was actually thinking of doing the cover as a single image, in png, which could be included in any file for the publisher. I could also do it as an AI format, which is still the most commonly used format by publishers. [ I keep an old linux box with a 2.4 kernel just to have coreldraw 9 running, it was built to require the toolchain for the 2.4 kernel and won't run on the 2.6 kernel ] by putting together ideas and posting as png on a web page then everyone can say what one(s) they like the best, so we can all have input on what any proposed book cover looks like. I can put a simple page or 10 up if people want to send their ideas as png, so everyone can participate if they want. I have lots of data transfer I'm not using on my server, and space on it for doing something like this. Jaqui __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
