That is the biggest, most memory-intensive module I've ever seen. I think I'm going to start using that for stress tests. BTW, you can reduce the size of the module by about 6MB if you convert all of the GIFs to PNGs using pngout. (With the added bonus that you're not using GIFs anymore.) That's roughly 10% off the module size for doing virtually no work. You could probably shave off even more by either (1) giving pngout some clever options, or (2) despeckling the counter art. If wouldn't be surprised if you could reduce the size of the module by half if you ran the counter art through ImageMagick's denoise filter. I can do that for you and put the module somewhere you can download it, if you'd like. This would have no effect at all on the amount of memory that the module takes to run, but would save quite a bit of bandwidth. > It doesn't answer why Vista thinks Java version 6 is installed but I have to > launch it with version 5 packed with Vassal, but it works :) Have you checked the versions of *all* of the java.exe files on your system? -- J.
