hey mmccaffery, yeah im aware of th compression in .gif
files...
but in the publish settings i tried every color option there,
including adoptive, and to my surprise they all look the same.
and besides, as far as i know, i only used Web Safe colors
for that picture, so compressing it shouldnt be a problem..
ahh well, i guess this is just another thing i cant figure
out at the moment.. the list is getting quite long now.
anyway, thanx for the reply, and info.
