Hi Ray and All...

Magic! Thx for the tip re Irfanview!

There are some 50,000:1 maps for Oziexplorer around for SA, but they are
BIG, around 500MB, and Irfanview previews them OK, but when trying to
open them errors with a message "decode fault" or something like that...

Probably a file size limitation with Irfanview me guess as PC has 4GB
RAM etc etc...

Regards to ALL, 73 Rod, VK5KFB.
