IBM Quick Reference Guide - 1992

I never claimed otherwise. I merely pointed out it is a great deal more complicated. Is it? I thought the discussion was talking about colour line-art. In scanning, line-art means 1bpp, at least in my experience; I read "colour line-art" as implying 1bpp per primary, giving an absolute maximum of 8 different colours, well within GIF's range. This is not an answer to any of my questions. It sounds as though you actually mean something more like "PNG is in all graphics programs I think are important enough to be worth caring about" or maybe even "PNG is in all graphics programs I felt like bothering looking at". While there's nothing wrong with either, per se, it would probably be good to say what you mean. PNG most certainly is not in all still-maintained graphics programs. For example, I have an image displayer in live use (which I'm still maintaining) which supports nothing but pbm/pgm/ppm. Yes, of course. What did *you* think "when either will do" meant? /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
