I'm having a blonde moment here! (prolly not enough coffee). I've zipped the blooming apple tree, and am about to upload it to my server, - but for the life of me I can't remember if I should upload it in binary or ASCII format. Ack! Britt

BINARY! If you do it in Ascii format then it's possible that some bytes will get mis-converted (e.g. CR&LF converted to LF) etc etc... If you do it in Binary, no conversions will occur, and the file will be as you intended it :o)

Thanks! :) Re-uploading now, - cuz I'd done it wrong! *l* And here is a sneak-peak of the thumb. I'll see if I can put together a "how to" :)

Thats great! Can't wait to see the tree (and the how to ;o)
