you must have done something worng. definately. make sure you convert the files (from Photoshop or Paint Shop) like this:

- transform to indexed colors
- amount of colors must be 256 maximum
- save as bitmap non compressed (8bit)
- size of the bit must be 1024 x 1024 8and not 1024x1026 like i did)

try it.

In question to the "sheepfire" - How do you draw "wool" on a spit?



This is not a trick question either :)

Hmmm... are you doing the Highlands version or the Welsh version?

Will it be named "Molly" ?
