Kapryan: The save_iff code doesn't make any distinction for dctv, it just saves as many planes as the image has. One possibility is that the save_iff code does pad lines out to even byte values after compression, but this is per IFF spec. Other than that, the image which is saved is exactly that which is displayed. Unfortunately, I can't do much in the way of experimenting at the moment, for several reasons. VP 3.05 (last released version, identical to 3.04b except that the 'b' was the designator for 'beta' and VRLI got antsy and released it before I had all of my reports back in. It turned out that there were no more problems reported, so the rev was bumped to 3.05 for the release.) was written in Manx C and when I put AmigaDOS 2.1 on my 3000, the Manx C compiler quit working. I have ported it to SAS, but it is currently in an intermediate state as I am making the changes/additions for 3.1 so it's not exactly usable right now. (One of the changes is to use the ASL graphics mode requester in place of portions of the GrMode requester, so DCTV doesn't even show up as an option at the moment.) When I get it further along, I'll be glad to send you a beta copy and we can tweak it until it works right for you, but that may be a month or more away. Clint <Chaocity>
