(I.e., 1 bit per pixel.) Only if you can convince a court that an 8-bit map is not equivalent to 8 bitmaps. Somehow I doubt it. ---Dan

I don't think the right to representation includes civil cases such as suits. The right to representation has to do with a right to a fair criminal trial. (kinda too bad in this modern age of litigation) The only option for those without means is to find a lawyer willing to defend as a pro bono case or legal aid societies. -- Douglas S.
