Couple of things that seem wrong with what Buzz says: whether Update
backs up is optional. You can turn that off. In this case you
probably shouldn't.
He's dead wrong about the JPEG size. I just tried importing a 806,924
bytes JPEG (1600 x 1200, very high quality) into a .CST file. The
.CST file became 6,530,380 bytes big. The Update to .CCT gave a file
that is 804,451 big. This is what I generally find, a shockwave
version of a JPEG is slightly smaller than the JPEG on its own, but
it's a lot smaller (depending on the JPEG quality setting) than the
.DIR or .CST was.
