It seems to me that you put for every pixel one quad.

Almost...I combine pixels of the same color that are on the same horizontal

there is a good programmatic way to make official files.

I'll try to combine the vertical lines together, where possible, so that should
reduce file size.

Look for another release tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and ideas!
Scott
