No problem, Tim. I've made more mistakes than anyone lately!
E-mail is probably the best method, my website has a cheesy 5 MB limit, and
so not everyone could upload at once. But if you need to, I'll send you the
password and stuff. The zipped files should be around 400 -420 kb, anyway.
By the way, the .png files that POV creates on my machine are much smaller
than the ones you're producing - I wonder why? Each frame my computer
generates is about 400 kb. Isn't that strange?

Hm. When loading the image with Paint Shop Pro
and saving it again, the image becomes 400kb as well.
And even a BMP shouldn't be that...
Wait a minute.
I think I got it. I've set the bit-depth for color-coding
higher in my povray.ini in order to get the maximum
available for my BMPs (which is my old-time favorite
image-type, easily to be used as background for windows
and widely known), perhaps the PNG save too much extra
data...
Hm. I'll experiment with that with a second instance running,
that might be the cause...
Anyways, I'll ZIP some images and send them to you after
a batch-processing of load-save... (20 frames left)
Regards,
Tim

What's going on, any email I send you gets returned
with a Daemon Failure Notice, that the email-client gave
up...
You lost your email or what?

Thanks to my ISP Earthlink, I have a 10 MB e-mail limit (I just learned
that). Images 100 - 128 arrived ok. I'll have to download my e-mail a
couple times a day to avoid that limit. As soon as I download all my e-mail,
it frees up my allotment on the server. Thanks, Earthlink!

Okay, I've finished the 100 - 160 batch
and the 221 - 230 batch. I'll send some of
them via email and wait until you give me notice
the send the remaining parts.
Regards,
Tim
