Toolkit independence is the word here, probably.

As long as the expansion of png into a format that xforms can handle does not write back to disk again, I would not even be sure about that: I/O performance can cause quite a bottleneck; it is often faster to compress and decompress around file I/O rather than do it raw. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
