Hi !

I use PS to create that "2168" byte files that you mention ...
Photoshop tries to reach 4 Byte alignement, so it adds 2 zeo bytes at the end -> 2166 + 2 = 2168

So i use "hexworks" to load the file and delete the last two fill bytes, and ... VOILA ... i end up with a usable 2166 Byte file .
If i would need this every day i would wait for a good tool or write my own, but as i only change my bootup logo maybe once in a year or so ?!?!? I did it, and it worked ...

P.S. the other trick is to use PSP, it seems to produce the right 2166 byte image as a default, i never tried it, but people say so ...
