    Or with Postscript files?  Perhaps that is why Andrwe is using it?  I don't 
know enough about Postscript, so I'll stop speculating here.  Though I wil 
wager a guess that the PS in EPS stands for PostScript?

    As I still can't read GIF formats in my port of the GIMP, I instead used a 
JPEG, though it was at 0% compression.... (aside from the base JPEG 
compression).  Once again, I suspect this has something to do with the hundreds 
of thousands of silly little Linux formats that Andrew is releasing his game 
under.  :)

    We should get a Friday game started....  Or talk to Brian's boss and have 
him/her switch his day off to Saturdays.  
    'till later...
