Gentlemen, thank you for your replies. I may have been hasty in my responses, but I appreciate your insight into Photo CD and it's place in the CD-ROM industry. I am in the position of teaching CD-ROM to potential publishers of CD-ROM, and it is very annoying to be interrupted in mid-spiel with the question: "What about Photo CD?" even though what the potential client has in mind (full text, fielded data, and graphics, with perhaps a few images) is more suited to regular old CD-ROM. Kodak has, in their advertising, confused the issue to the point where potential CD-ROM publishers think that the only way to display images from compact disc is to use Photo CD. You and i both know that this is incorrect. Often, the case is that the ONLY CD-ROM technology the customer has heard about is Photo CD. I think this is unfortunate, after all the years we in the CD-ROM industry have spent being evangelists for our technology, its capacity, versatility, and cross-platform capability. Once again, please be aware that this is not Bob, but Dana speaking. Bob is allowing me to use his account (and I'm gonna pay, Lord, how I'm pay) until and IF I get my own. And yes, I see many questions here that I could answer, but having spent so much time in tech support, I'm glad that I am no longer required to do so. Dana Parker
