Haven't heard that term in quiet some time. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the Hindu religion. Can't remember. How the word ever got associated with gifs, jpegs, etc. is beyond me. Maybe Edhead knows.lol

Good job CP, better than I could have explained, particulary sine I didn't know most of that myself.
