Re: QOTM Question of the moment

While I don't know if the statement "Hint:........... Transparency's do not
work on Interlaced Images nor on
jpgs." is application specific in this case or not, and will all due
respect, I can tell you FOR SURE that I have at least a few hundred
transparent interlaced gif's out there in "circulation" as I type this (or
at least Photo shop and my browser *tell me* they are interlaced ;-)).

HTH,
