.bmp won't work here either -- but try this .tif version

Of course.

A component of Delphi? Hmm. Yes. Well, if there's any possibility of
getting more output options from Delphi, then tiff and Postscript
would certainly be good -- the former apparently a better choice as
it's far less verbose, according to the smaller manual on p.31.

I wish I could help more. Well, I can ... sort of. Y&Y is in the final
stages of setting up a proper LISTSERV for users of its products, TeX
and fonts, to put them in touch with one another, to help deal with
all the variations and choices, much less nasty little niggles that
arise in any highly specialised software on a windows platform these
days.

If you have no luck with Delphi options for other output formats, I'd
encourage you to post a description of your dilemma to this new
list. You just never know who's out there with a similar situation.
Any announcement will be made via the usual public venus (e.g.,
comp.text.tex) and of course the Y&Y website.

Yup. That's me. I'm also a Y&YTeX user for certain projects (my main
platform is unix) and so I try to lend a hand sometimes when there are
tons of queries to support at yandy.com.
