I'd heard there were two versions of WPG for WP, one for 5.1D and
one for 6.0D. I dunno about PCX.
I'm wondering if these aren't primarily for "line art" type images
rather than for photographs.

It doesn't report any error, just that when I edit the graphics
(Alt.F9-Graphics, 9-Edit) I see no intelligent graphics but
images that appear to be negatives. Selecting 5-B&W only aggrivates
the problem. And, of course, they print the same way on the HP 5L.

I guess there is a problem if you use TIF-Compressed. With that I
get "incorrect format."
