1. Compressing images
Hello,
I am currently programming a 4 way scrolling action game and have come
across a problem, I want quite a number of 1,600 X 350 bmps but they
take up about 500k each I have tried using gifs with Michael Bolin's
pic_load.e but it just froze my computer. Does any one know how to
compress an image that size and still be able to load it reasonably
fast?

If the images aren't too big as .gifs, why don't you send me a copy
of some of them. If there are any .gifs that my routine doesn't work
for, I would like to be able to fix it.
