please do not post bitmaps from pwiseman salmon usd edu cliff organization university of south dakota subject roman bmp in response to the requests for cool bitmaps i am posting one date pm due to the resolution and size it is in parts this is a uuencoded bitmap x colors the picture is a marbled gazebo on a desert with blue sky background the size is just right for centered wallpaper on a x display because it leaves a border at the bottom just big enough for icons to fit in without being on top of the picture reguarding image quality and resolution i have not seen much better please do not do this i don t know how the rest of you read news but here s how i do it i subscribe to an outernet system which allows me to dial up via modem and download e mail and news articles automatically when someone posts a huge attached binary file i have no choice but to receive it along with all the other new articles in the groups i subscribe to i also pay for the connect time which is normally not a problem because i have a k modem and each day s upload download session takes only minutes or so today s session however lasted about minutes because of roman bmp consequently it cost me about extra just to receive a file that i didn t want in the first place if you have cool bitmaps that you want to make available there are other ways to do it either upload the file to an ftp site like ftp cica indiana edu which has a complete windows section and tell people how to get to it or use one of the newsgroups like alt binaries pictures or something like that which are file archives rather than discussion groups don t use discussion groups like this one to send out attached files especially when they re k in size thanks ed klein eklein spiff win net
