- James,

- If you want to use .PCX files because they take less disk space than
- .BMP, be aware that there are several wallpaper management utilities that
- allow the .BMPs to be stored in a .ZIP or .LZH archive, that will save you
- a lot of disk space. The program will Unarchive one wallpaper file at
- random, and display it. The one I uses unarchives one of the files to the
- name walpaper.bmp, just set up Windows to use that as your wallpaper and
- you're set. And it never gets boring. :-)
