sorry.. yes.. pngalpha. It worked the last time I used it although there might be an issue with transparencies, although if its working you should see a chessboard like pattern as a background when transparency is turned on instead of white. 7.07 still may not provide you a good preview even with those devices. > I will try the AFPL ghostscript in the future, thanks for the info.

New ones are due for 1.2 and the Ghostscript section has already been written. Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
