Hello René,

Funny you should mention that. Amongst all the software which I posted
on my site from Australia there is an email capture. I am a bit annoyed
to see the name "buy viagra" there this week.

I have used some perl image routines. For example our perl/tk menu
automatically creates an image and a thumb from an image found on the
merchant's hard drive.

I used a bit of trial and error, and found snippets of code online. I
found that that what worked for one release of active perl didn't work
for the next, so I in fact preserve an old perl on which everything
works. Wheares it has been an awful lot of hard work, I am able to offer
image manipulations which even yahoo store does not. So it is worth the
trouble.

Good thinking though, and good luck,

Regards,

Frank Reitzenstein.
