[windows2000] Re: OT: Color picking application

Don't you just convert each and concatenate the red, green an blue (in that
order) hex values into a 6 digit value, such as for html programming?  I.E.,
if red is C3, green is AC, and blue is 18, wouldn't the single hex value be
"C3AC18"?  If not, I have no idea what I'm talking about so don't listen to
me.  :)

Hmm..., I checked my previous message and I gave the right email address.
Maybe my ISP blocks .exe files.  It's a relatively new address and I usally
ftp stuff so I may have never tried.

Thanks,
Toby
