Hi Mark,

Sorry about the delay, I've been having BBS troubles.

I could post the current version, although it doesn't read the full
24 bit palette on an AGA machine, it should still work.

I didn't get any replies to my Workbench 3 ROM kernel question in
the programming echoes.  I'll try again now that my mail seems to
have stabilised.

If we do it that way, a BBS in each capital city could be selected
to act as a collection site to minimize long-distance charges. Also,
not everyone is capable of FREQing.

MS> posting them as encoded JPEGs, since they are very compact.

MO> Agreed.

I thought so.  :) It's certainly small enough to post here.
Ideally, all the pictures should be the same pixel size, as Dave
Freeman pointed out.  Also, Dave has offered to digitize any photos
to a uniform size.  I guess those of us with existing digitized
portraits can convert them to JPEG and rescale them to the agreed
size using AdPro, HamLab or ImageFX.
