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. ;-)) Jan. =--- Bruce Kennewell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38dd4c49$[email hidden]... > HELP! > I've created a replacement page0.pbf (front cover) for both the LagunaSeca

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. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. ---------------------------

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. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Jan Verschueren <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:WtcD4.32056$[email hidden]... > 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.
