HELP!
I've created a replacement page0.pbf (front cover) for both the Laguna Seca
and Riverside tracks.
These are from scans of old programs; unfortunately they relate to
sports-car races but they are, at least, in period!
However, I have two questions, folks......

(1) How do I make each zip file (about 80Kb each) downloadable on my web
address?

(2) When converting the .BMP to .PBF, the colours change!  Any idea what I'm
doing wrong?  Is there a step or two that  should be checking in PSP-6 when
I save the BMP? (It IS being saved as a 24-bit image and the width x height
are spot-on....it's just the palette that is odd).

I'd like to make these available to all if possible, to replace the standard
"converted" PBF but I need some help to the above questions please.

Thanks in advance.

Can't help you with the palette, but as for the files.

1) Upload them to your webspace as per usual (like you do pages and
pictures).

2) link to them as you would to a page. Here's a tag from our company's
website:

   <a href="binaries\databank.zip">RatoDB</a>

   Works fine. If you want to link from a post just put something like this:

   http://www.yourdomain.com/brucek/covers.zip (<--- not a real link!!).

It's all automatic nowadays, old boy. ;-))

Thanks Jan....as soon as I fix the pallette I'll pop them onto a web site
where they can be accessed and drop a note in this thread.
