<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Ken,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for the that info, interesting as always. It works just fine with xep though, which is the pragmatic aim at the moment, and has to be a bit of a work around the the fact that xep doesn't support z-level yet.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheers,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, based on the processor, you might have to put </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I hope this helps.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>I need to use a bitmap (jpg) as a background</FONT>
