Andrew, 2.3MB is download size for Windows. Download size for Linux is 3.4 MB. Unpacked (tar.gz) has size of 10.4MB So, you need about 11MB of disk space to draw just one rotated rectangle :-(( Which is really *STUPID*. Charles, I can believe that someone in Adobe is working on reduced in size plugin. But so far it's not available, so my judgement is based only on known facts. | | Andrew Watt BR, -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
