Hi Aaron,

I tried but due to the limit of 256 colors the antialiasing of the GIF 
was much worse than the PNG. But perhaps it can be "tuned" using a 
better color palette, but i am not that graphic guru ;-).

Anyway, I think it looks quite acceptable at the moment, but if someone 
manages to get a better quality image (either PNG or GIF, I don't care) 
just mail it to me.

Regards,
Lars-Hendrik
