but what would be the difference in taking the map's tga file and converting it to jpg and post the jpg. people can download the jpg and then convert it to tga on their own computer so they can use it. there are freeware image converters out there that can be downloaded. I have been running tests on my computer and can see no loss in image quality between jpg and tga so that isn't an issue. a 35 meg tga file is just over 2 megs in jpg format.

Interesting. Id never considered that. But it would be almost the same as zipping the files. On the one hand, more people probably have unzippers than have graphic converters. On the other hand, it would be easier to display the maps for download on a website. Hmmm no come to think of it making the maps viewable on a website isnt really a problem so ZIP would probably be better.
