Hi Rick,

Craig pointed out an important issue when he asked once you have the
image file appended to the save file with the resolved routines,how do
you actually read it into a procedure from the main level where it is
restored?

I think I can see how your routine would work for what I need though.
We are including a PNG image in the splash screen of a widget
application (this program will be distributed as a runtime program
with an embedded IDL license). I think that I can just use
notify_realize keyword when I realize the top-level base of the
program to get the PNG data (that has been converted using your
routine).

I'd like to give it a shot if you could send me your code or post it
here.

Thanks,

Rob
