A few comments & a few questions: After the repairs, there must have been joy at that M100 image. The area in the center of M100 Galaxy is shown as bright fiery yellow, (as you intended?). What would you say is a good GIF viewer for this platform? The one I took in is called AIVE.IZH. (The program looked small.) But what would you recommend? The slow modem I use and the long download times do not much matter for CIS E-Mail, which is free to receive, (and for which upload charges are not time dependent as far as I know), but when in a Forum at 4.80/hour, or 9.60/hour, obviously, speed can matter. Yes, I used DigiView. It came with used equipment purchased last spring. What is said about DigiView?

Tried to do the best HAM rendition of the Hubble image that I could. The color looked pretty true to the original GIF. (By all means take a look at it WFP2_0.GIF on lib. 13) Since I have ADPro and it's a great GIF viewer I Don't know of one to recommend but I'll bet there those out there who do. Maybe if you post a seperate message, with that subject, we'll find out which viewers are good. DigiView is a good product. I used it for years before I got a frame grabber and found it to be very reliable. For video frames it sort of depends on how stable the freeze frame on your machine is but for digitizing photo's and such it works fine. I'll be gone for a few days. Look forward to catching up when I return. David
