My problem with the documentation is that I *know* IM can do something, but for the life of me I can't find the magic flag that does it. The -help output is too terse to be of any use unless you already know what the flag does but temporarily forgot its name. I think part of this problem stems from the fact that "convert" is a single utility that does *everything*, so you just run out of good names for command-line arguments after a while and have to start picking names that are euphamisms for what is done instead of something descriptive or intuitive. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
