I think you are limited to what the standard ASL requester can do, unless you patch ASL globally. So if you are not sure if an image is an IFF, you have to just click on it and wait for DPaint to put up a "Not an IFF" message if it isn't. Three-letter extensions can be a convenience for the user (so long as they are correct), but should not be used for identifying file types by software. It is too easy for a user to name the file wrongly. Regards -- Don Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED]
