I think storing it in a pixmap on the server and sending back a pointer to it is an excellent idea. It should also help with debugging and testing. An alternative would be to have some sort of callback scheme, but then you'd run into trouble with various tunneling and firewalling schemes, so a server-centered approach makes more sense. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
