Jerry,
I seem to remember that if you convert the signature .gif file on the fly to postscript, it would take forever, but if there is already a postscript version of the signature .gif file, it will skip that step and it goes many times faster. Do you have a signature .ps file already converted to .ps. Also as I recall, the level of postscript if color would take a lot longer than if you use a .ps version of the signature file that is just black and white. I remember I used xv to save the .gif file as postscript just in black and white and used that .ps file. It worked good. But some other programs that convert .gif to .ps , the annotation would take longer. This was quite a while ago, but still sticks in my mind.

Alex,
I had to fix a few more missing symlinks, but along the way I
discovered that the annotation feature seems to run a lot slower on
Puppy than before. It would utterly crash my machine if I made the
signature 400% (384 megs of RAM on that machine), and still take a
really long time with the signature at 100%. I tried using
ImageMagick from it's GUI on the same files, and it does take awhile
to add an annotation, but not nearly as long as from the Tkfp
annotation GUI. I'm sure they are both using convert, but apparently
in a somewhat different ways. Any idea on how to correct this?
The XnView convert wide and squished feature worked just fine on the
few files I tried it on. Very nice.
