Anne, BMP's are a lot of things. Essentially it is nothing than "a collection of bits". I remember form my OS/2 days a great application - PMView - that gave a thorough explanation of the various .bmp-formats. There IS a big difference between Windows- Unix- OS/2- etc. etc. when it comes to bmp-pics. Regards Kaj Haulrich
