It may have a use in very slight enlargements up to 110%. Here's Veronica again resized to 75% : __-----._ ' - - . . / / . `\ \ | `. \ | ` | |><@ ) <@>|` | / || | ((_) | | `` \ | / `--' / `.

I have now used it quite a bit and it seems most useful for reductions in the 75-95% range. A big snag is that it munges/trims any words included or associated with the picture so they have to edited later. It is best with the big solid style pics using mainly just one character like the '$' in this smiley face: Original: ooo$$$$$$$$$$$$oooo oo$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$o oo$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$o o$ $$ o$ o $ oo o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$o $$ $$ $$o$ oo $ $ "$ o$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$o $$$o$$o$ "$$$$$$o$ o$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$o $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ """$$$ "$$$""""$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "$$$ $$$ o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "$$$o o$$" $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$o $$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$""$$$$$$ooooo$$$$o o$$$oooo$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$"$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$"""""""" """" $$$$ "$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" o$$$ "$$$o """$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"$$" $$$ $$$o "$$""$$$$$$"""" o$$$ $$$$o oo o$$$" "$$$$o o$$$$$$o"$$$$o o$$$$ "$$$$$oo ""$$$$o$$$$$o o$$$$"" ""$$$$$oooo "$$$o$$$$$$$$$""" ""$$$$$$$oo $$$$$$$$$$ """"$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$" "$$$"""" 75% reduction: o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ oo$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ o$ $ o$ oo$ $"$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$o$o$ "$$$$o$ o$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$o $$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "$$""""$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "$$ $$ o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "$$o o$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$ $$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "$$$$oooo$$$o $$$$$$"$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$"""""" """ $$$ "$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" o$$ "$$o ""$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" $$$ $$o oo o$$" "$$$o o$$$$o"$$$o o$$$ "$$$$ooo $$$o$$$$$$""" ""$$$$$o $$$$$$$$ """$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$ "$$""" Not quite so good but reasonable on the more detailed character of NEUMAN and you can see what happens to the words in the Caption: Original NEUMAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .M .:AWMMM: .:AMMMMMHIIIHMMM. .... .AMMMMMMMMMMMHHHMHHMMMML:AMF" .:MMMMMLAMMMMMMMHMMMMMMHHIHHIIIHMMMML.

LRDE EMN I will find it particularly useful for pictures posted with more than 76 columns where a reduction of between 90-98% is often sufficient to reduce the picture width with minimum munge-ing. RESIZE.EXE is a good little new proggie. I'm already finding it very useful. Bye,
