David obviously knows more but: I assume OPro stores the pic in its original format and simply uses OS routines to 'plot_scaled' as appropriate for vdu display and printing. It will be the original image in the DDL file. Looking at the source, meDDLe extracts the image from the file and uses it as is. The question is - presumably the DDL file contains all the image process parameters, including scale - is it possible to modify meDDLe to honour the scale factor. meDDLe appears to scan the DDL file for the pics, stores the file ptr of the start of each picture, together with other info such as pic type. It then comes back and processes the pictures - eg convert sprite to png, or draw to png. Will these utilities scale at the same time? I have just had a quick skim of the source code. To actually do anything would take a lot longer. -- Chris Johnson To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
