(About the author)
 
     This is my poor attempt at a boxshot program. My hopes are that someone will see just how poor it is and create a better looking one. Maybe even have features like shadow, reflection and rotate. Who knows.Code is real simple.Update: added left and right view and a smooth filter. Update#2:Added shadow,preview,save as jpeg and add labels to front picture. Update#3: Made some small changes just for Robert.Hopefully there are no bugs.

Ken: Only just realised that you can load any images into the 3 panels - very nice. Slight quibble is the method for opening the images which doesn't retain the last folder opened. However, easily changed if one wants to - 5/5 from me.

It does not work on Windows 98se as far as I can tell: no image appears in the right picture box, nor the preview box. Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

David, The only thing I can see is that 98se does not like the plgblt function.
