Re: copied graphics become grey boxes

Add me to the list of people whom this has almost never bitten.
That includes UN*X, Mac and Win31/95/NT versions, as well as the
somewhat lamented NeXT version....

I admit that I reference most of my graphics, and have a good backup
system.

I've not had any major file maintainance problems, but the I store
the referenced graphics on a central server.

Paul, I would support using PDF as my archive format over FM, if only
because I can for the stability.  Additionally, you can password
protect the files from editing.
