If you have Photoshop, you can easily do this with my free ICO format

| People, the only reason I cross-posted this to four different groups is
because there IS no one (let alone four) Usenet group specifically
dealing with the program Microangelo. Given the cynicism expressed in
this thread, the lot of you aren't worth pointing out the obvious; but
smarmy begs what smarmy gets. Listening class?
Since the title of the post asks, within the _first four words_ of the
subject, if you are using MICROANGELO, why even click the thread if you
AREN'T?
GET A LIFE.
There IS no one forum to put a question like this to so C.H.I.L.L. your
sarcasm. I'll put this question to the Corel groups, who at least have
the sense to not reply if they have nothing productive whatsoever to
say.

What part of my OP didn't you appreciate? When I am demo'ing a piece
of software I reserve the right to do so privately. If I wanted your
organization to have my email address I would have registered with your
forums directly.
Why you block even the VIEWING of your forums absent registration is
not only hostile to potential new customers, it's unnecessarily
intrusive, and obstructive to the User's attempts to get comfortable
with a new program they're trying out (er, programS, since for reasons
not entirely clear to me you can't manage to put these fractured bits
into just _one_ bloody program tsk).
I can't urge you strongly enough to open your proprietary forums to be
viewable by visitors. Forums were created not to be hostile to
building communities, but rather for PROMOTING AND ENCOURAGING them.
It turns me off.
And I have to wonder how many others seeking answers to technical
questions (doubtless encountered and addressed by Microangelo Users
previously) have been repulsed by a solicitation for their private
email address when they are merely trying out the software.
Here's an original thought:
How about answering my question so that a few thousand other people who
might have this same question can efficiently find the answer on
Google? I've permitted this post to be archived for this very reason .

| Perhaps you should consider INDIVIDUAL post to each group vs. the shot gun.
That said you come hat in hand asking for help and berate everyone for not
anticipating your unique needs
the alt.micro-give-a-sh|t group is that way ==>
