Vector illustrations in Revolution

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

I think Brent explained things pretty much as I understand them as  
well; but I haven't found the resolution of the jpgs objectionable,  
even when printed out. Of course, I actually wanted the appearance to  
be somewhat crude as with hand drawn pictures. Your requirements may  
be more acute, wanting things to appear more polished.
