You need a conversion porgram to bring Your Windows Bitmap's into the PNG format (PaintShop 4.x, PhotoPaint, PicturePublisher ...). In contrast to the bmp format PNG uses compression that will save diskspace. You can download the package & the MathLink program from http://www.mpae.gwdg.de/~kuska/mcpng.html Hope that helps Jens
