Nice. I actually had a feeling that it was mentioned for Watcom, so I quickly checked the OpenWatcom site (in particular the release notes for individual versions) and couldn't find anything there, so I thought that I remembered it wrongly. I'm happy to be proven wrong. >>>From technical point of view, I'd say that INF format capabilities in >>> the >> area of graphical layout might be considered outdated nowadays.

Simple pictures are certainly no problem (although I believe that the INF format only supports BMP files - no JPG, no GIF or PNG, etc.). However, I was more referring to more advanced formatting possibilities; yet again, this may or may not be important depending on your needs and expectations.
