My more full-blown IFF reader doesn't crash at all on this file, and it loads fine (looks fine). I would rather have a slightly larger program that didn't crash. >Tip-of-the-day: Dpaint II often hogs the processor even when inactive (at >least my version does).

Actually, Dan has code to avoid the busy-wait, it's just that it is only active when DPaint is ACTIVE (i.e., when you're doing something) and due to a mistake it gets circumvented when DPaint is inactive (funnily enough.) He is aware of this, and the fix will be released in a future update. BTW, the next revision will have code to support the next SlideShow. -Mitsu
