That was the whole idea, it takes immediate care of one of the most frequently
asked question, namely "all the pics in this group are all warped, how can i
view them as intended?".

There may be still a problem though, some people may think that since you can
edit text in a wordprocessor, that it shouldn't make a difference if they viewed
the text in Staroffice, WP, Word(pad), XVi or any other program that as a
standard uses PF's.
