People, please don't send bmp files. bmp files are ten to twenty times

larger

than jpg's. This bmp file was 1.75 meg. After I converted it to a jpg

with Linux

xv it was 113K.  Huge bmp's clog up my ISP, fill up my hard disk (and

yours) and

take a long time to download with dial up.

Now I understand you are running Windows and Windows, unlike Linux

,comes with

no graphic manipulation utilities to convert file types. So you will

have

to download some free Windows software from the WWW somehow.

Wrong. MS Paint comes with Windows, and can open .BMPs and save them as
.JPGs (or a number of other formats). I have verified this in Windows 2000,
and WindowsXP.

That may be true for 2000 and XP but it does not work in 98.
98 Paint won't even load a jpg.
I run 98 because that is what came with the used notebook I have.
