Thank you to Alan, Herbert, John and Martin, for their helpful replies. The CD arrived this morning without any further consultation about format, size etc. It turned out to be a 184Mb Tiff which loaded into DPingScan after cancelling a couple of error messages, translating itself into a 175Mb sprite. Storing this as a high quality Jpeg reduced the file size to 8Mb. I have scaled this down further for general use, and will only revert to the original for print-outs.
