Can it be viewed by someone who only has Explorer? A bitmap with lossless compression like png is tolerable. Please don't use jpeg. It uses lossy compression that is designed for photos. They end up fuzzy. Been working with xcircuit. It saves in PS but can be made into a jpeg which looked just as sharp as the original. I found this command online: gs -dBATCH -sOutputFile=4804SR-output.jpg -sDEVICE=jpeg 4804SR-output.ps Which I changed to this: gs -dBATCH -sOutputFile=4804SR-output.png -sDEVICE=jpeg 4804SR-output.ps The first file it created ends in .jpg, the second in .png. But they're both the same size and look exactly the same in the browser. Of course they're the same. All you did was change the filename name. The second command is still telling gs to create a jpeg file. When I gave it -sDEVICE=png it replied Unknown device: png. So maybe it just makes jpegs but will call them whatever... gs doesn't care what you call files -- very few unix programs do. The file type is determined by the -sDEVICE= option. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Did you find a at DIGITAL WATCH in YOUR box visi.comof VELVEETA?? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Maybe it solves your needs. regards Petric -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
