     (...) Yeah, I have yet to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do with ImageMagic. I ftp'ed it down and unzipped it.

     Is the entire IM directory needed, or JUST the convert.exe? I'd like to delete all the rest if all I need is convert.exe, but I don't have the time to remove a file at a time until something breaks. Right now, it works, but that's an awful lot of (...)
