On second thought, it's _not_ OK.  I have one 1280x620 map in GIF
format, that's 17kB.  A fancy photo-quality image in 256-color JPEG
might be 483kB, if you're really gung-ho (I have a 1280x899x128 at
272kb).  Where are the other 1.5MB going?  Not into text....

Is this really what industry-leading software is like?

C'mon, I see a profit opportunity here; all it requires is willingness 
to program for the Windose environment.

Hey, Applix/StarOffice/WPforLinux users:  do your programs bloat data
that way?
