>> The .QWE format is one I came up with, with assorted

planet-rendering specific features. I wrote a little converter program to
take a .GIF file and spit out a .QWE. It's highly user-abusive, since I
never really planned on providing people with a way to add their own
bitmaps. If you've found something interesting, I'd suggest sending me the
image (or the URL where you found it), and I'll process it into a .QWE and
send it back to you (and/or post it on the site for all to enjoy). <<

Do you / cam you use the images on Dave Seal's website at maps.jpl.nasa.gov
? His high resolution maps of the Moon and Mars look pretty good in
unprojected form in Paintshop Pro (the Moon looks less 'flat' than the
Clementine image that I currently use in Guide 7)
