Is there any software, ftp or otherwise, that can enable a conversion from a PCX file that is very large (larger than the screen) to a windows compatible bitmap that shows the entire shrunken PCX full screen. Attempting to do this in CorelDraw doesn't work well. Here's the process I think should work: I have a large format PCX file. I import the file. Shrink it down on the desk top. Go PageSetup and shrink the page to a size small enought to fit on an 640x480 bitmap. Export as pcx then convert to bmp with paintbrush. This gives me a bmp file that doesn't seem to shrunken at all and has obnoxious white borders that have nothing to do with the picture. Has anyone shrunken a pcx file and saved it without the borders? -skito
