How does one interpret a DPPS chunk? I.E. what is it's structure and meaning? It didn't seem to be described in the 1988 IFF specs on FF185... Thanks for any info in advance. UUCP: crash!pro-realm!dbwhite ARPA: crash!pro-realm!dbwhite@nosc.mil INET: dbwhite@pro-realm.cts.com

It didn't seem to be described in the 1988 IFF specs on FF185... I don't know the structure, but it is probably very easy to guess once you know what is in it. DPPS is Deluxe Paint Page Size. DPaint III crashes if you have a large picture without this hunk and you don't set the page size to the right size the first time. I find it very annoying to have to fall back to DP-II to find out how big some of my images are so that they can be reloaded and resaved with DP-III. DPPS is probably just two shorts or something. On a slightly different topic, is it possible to control the compression mode that DPaint uses? I have a few uncompressed images that I would like to save compressed, but DP seems to use the same compression mode. I would also like to be able to save them uncompressed for ease of kludge- programs I may write. Thanks! -- Darren
