Jody: >>> By the way, is it really important that the number of bytes per row be even (i.e. word aligned) ? Because it didn't complain on most machines I tried when I had an odd number of bytes in a row. <<< On some machines, it absolutely has to be an even number per row to work. The only exception is when it is one byte per row. On other machines, it may work with an odd number per row, but it is more efficient with even numbers, usually still more efficient if each row begins on a multiple of four. With 68040 machines, it's probably still more efficient on multiples of 16. I don't know about PowerPC. Steve
