i set the pics up so that they were 640 or less wide, and 480 or less

high so that they would fit exactly onto a vga screen, you are quite

right though, i could have done them at 320x240. i'll use jpeg another

time so there wont be any problem with file size. for anybody

interested, i'll upload a scan both as gif, and jpeg at various

compressions, if they want they can give feedback on which is

acceptable. for my money, medium compression jpeg is the best

compromise. i usually keep my work as zipped targas on the system, but

that'd probably be to expensive for std callers.
