Welcome aboard, Kevin!
Good to hear from you. Thanks for dropping by this hide-out on the web (ouch! don't hit me, Mr dtP.com! :-) )
>> I'm really sorry to hear that you're having serious problems

The problem isn't as much an IC and GIF problem as a Win95 problem I had hoped to have solved, but which surfaced again after installing FrontPage, IC, and GIF Animator.
>> Thomas, I just checked the public image composer discussion >> newsgroup, and I didn't see your posting there.
No, you're not missing something because I was aware of

and a bug report with a humble request to get the problem resolved as well as a message

Yes, I think Altamira Composer was a very important product for many user when it arrived. And yes again, I *do* think you perhaps missed the Real Importance of Composer. But I am mostly happy to see it alive again and hopefully evolving in the right direction.

>> //snipped away more ditto.//
Yup, that's life in the age of Information Overload. We all have these problems
trying to catch up with too many sources of information. Bob - Mr dtP.com - seems
to manage this very well, but I am myself in a constant state of "I have to check
this up more". Well, I'm slowly accepting the impossibility of the task.
>> We're certainly not trying to compete with this bulletin board
:-) The thought never occurred to me. Possible the reverse ....
I very much appreciate that you have offered some feedback here, as well as some problem solving aid when needed. So in the busy day before Christmas this will have to be enough from me. Just one more item: I found it rather frustrating to find *no* information regarding what changes had been made to the most recent beta as well as having the old beta overwritten no matter what I tried. It will sure be helpful for all beta testers, reviewers and/or "publishers" to be able to carefully check the progress of a beta program (no matter what market concerns there are to push it out on the market as quickly as possible).
Have A Happy and Peaceful Christmas,
Thomas - DiP
