<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Great program and free.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Two versions are available:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The "Old" Windows version:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This is the version I "grew up with" and
am comfortable with</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The new Java version:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Written in Java and does require Java Runtime. I have
found this version very slow on some machines, because of the overhead in
running Java. And it has a different interface to the Windows version - so
perhaps that is why I prefer the older version that I used first.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But try them both and decide which version you
like.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Still a great program</FONT></DIV>

fortunate enough to have Fireworks MX which has a batch tool that makes
resizing, optimising and exporting all the pictures in a folder a
dream.<BR>>> <BR>>> So does Irfanview which is free and a great
utility to have for basic picture manipulation.<BR>>> <BR>>>
