Have you got a program like Paint Shop Pro (Shareware)? If not, then use
the paint program that comes with windows and make each screen into a grey
scale, or black and white image. If you have PSP it is easier to do and
will reduce significantly the size of your file. Ie typically by 300-400
k, then dcecrease the color depth to 16 colors, another 300-400k. Then
select the part of the image you really want.
I can usually get files down to 100 kb. If you want to go two color you
can get that down to about 30 kb.
