Why 122x160?  I try to make my image width a multiple of 8 because
most image formats are byte-oriented.  For example, JPEG breaks an
image into 8x8 blocks, padding out partial blocks.

How does it do that? Is it a Netscape-only feature?

FWIW, I have written a couple of Rexx scripts for converting
text files to simple HTML and one which displays HTML source in
colour. Pity I don't have a browser - I have to visit friends to
test my scripts' output. :)
