Ahah: mine were called content_png etc.
Renaming them and setting the file type to png has solved the problem.
I wonder why mime map didn't pickup the file type from the /png

I think you may have hit the nail on the head Michael. I use !Sparkplug
2.28 and I have had trouble with it mangling file names before. Had to
re-name a whole directory of htm files once to get the help pages to
work for one application.
Any suggestions for a better prog any one?
Thanks to every one for contributions on this.
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Keep on coding dudes. ;-)
