   Well, yeah I could, but I'm not sure I'll bother, I mean, with the hi res 
images, I could just printscreen them to PaintShop or something and then use 
Irfanview to compress, and just zip up JPEGs.

    That's exactly what I thought. I mean, isn't a website a catalogue 
anyway? I know the reason behind it though, the boss doesn't want to pay for 
a catalogue to go to New Zealand, Australia, Canada, etc. He's been moaning 
about it recently, tight git. :) (Heh, that felt good!)
