[Lowfer] Picture file conversion problem

[Bill Ashlock]

All Picture file helpers:

I had some success last night with file size reduction. I think I'm down to 
15k for the scope pix. Please check out the attachment and let me know how 
Figure 2 appears (also if the schematic looks OK as well). If it came 
through OK, this will let you know what I am trying to do. The total size of 
this page is something over 245k but the total 9 page document including 
this page was only 128k when I sent it to work. Hmmmm.

Many thanks,
Bill A
