Dunno what Version of Windows you're using Possum, but the Version of Paint I have saves in .gif, jpegs, etc as well as bmps.

I'm running the final Version of Win98

I just looked at MSPaint right now, and It will save in 4 types of BMP, and also in GIF, but no JPG's.

To be honest, the GIF was a surprise to me...

And, of course, if you want to save bandwidth, you should grab a program that'll convert your graphics to .png. I recommend saving as a bitmap (best quality available, but at the cost of being completely uncompressed), then use bmp2png or somethign similar.

Portable Network Graphics take up averagae of 10% less space, and also won't get Compuserve mad at you...
