I use Ventura Publisher v2.0 with the Professional Extension on my 386. I have found an interesting problem when loading .PCX and .IMG files. Every once in a while, Ventura creates a vertical band on the right side of the picture. When I look at the files with a different program, the band does not appear. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any idea as to what causes it and how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated. Pete ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter P.

I noticed this bug too, but without the professional extension. To fix it?
Try to adjust a frame around the image :-). Or convert your picture to some
other format.

Normally .pcx files are stored with run length encoding technique ( or something like that), if the width of the picture is not multiple of 8, it will be made multiple of 8 and the remaining bits at end are padded with 0s. These padded bits may be creating the vertical band in your picture. Earlier I wrote a routine to print .pcx files, there I used Dr. Halo conversion program. I faced similar situation, but later I could fix this by removing the padded bits. -Babu
