I'll remember that next time I'm resizing a postage stamp. Innocently I thought a 128x128 bitmap was a more practical example than 6400x4800, roughly the size of Australian ego. This time Graeme is in really good form: > The thing that has escaped your casual inspection is the way the return > bitmap is built. Your routine uses a sequence the size of the target bitmap. In line 7 of my resize function the return sequence is clearly initialized as a column just one integer wide. It does not take exceptional analytical skills to see that. Or does it? Enough. jiri
