Hi Jon

Have a look here:

http://8bs.jml.net/filecon.htm

I have tried to explain various formats and my reasons for uploading the
adl rather than the adf format to the websites.

I don't suppose I will please everyone even if I upload the whole
gigabyte's worth of different images I have to the sites.
