Bitmap trouble with E-Prime

[David McFarlane]

Leigh,

Ah, good old Mac to PC conversion problems...

Well, actually, PST lifted the .bmp restriction with E-Prime 2, so if 
you have that version then according to 
http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=360 you may now use 
*.bmp, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *gif, *.png, *.tif, *.tiff, *.emf, and 
*.wmf.  So give that a try.

If you are stuck with EP1, then I would try copying the .tiff files 
to the PC and doing the .bmp conversion using PC software.  Since you 
obviously already have the PC (else you could not run E-Prime), this 
should pose no burden.
