I actually didn't know that THAT would work. :)

I think that the problem you're seeing is that infact images won't
work if they're over a certain size (not length/width, but file size)
I've experimented with a couple options in the past in with minimal
success, havn't had time to put any decent effort into it. It
basically boils down to a limitation of the hotsync protocol.

That you can do... edit your .pluckerrc and set

maxwidth = 300

300 is good for a 320 wide device.

the viewer should accept jpg, gif, png, etc... but the viewer actually
reads it in palm's own format. An ideal solution to this problem is to
actually get the viewer to understand jpegs... maybe one day..

Lower your depth. An image that's 300x200x4 has a better chance chance
of making it under the 64k limit (from the hotsync protocol) than a
300x200x16.

what are the error messages?.. turn on -V 2 on the parser.
