Thanks. It still nees some work though. For one thing I want a much larger picture. Which may mean that the resulting picture could be roughly four times large in memory space. =:-P > I'm not too keen on such large files if I can avoid them. I'll give it a try later tonight. I started off last night with a full head of steam but fell asleep at about 2:00am. I decided to give my project a break and do something easier instead and post it. Since I haven't posted in quite a while. Hopefully I'll get it right tonight. Bsteph
