Hallo:
As an afterthought, if the images were part of a Java Applet, then you could
protect them. Although, if your page source references the graphics files
that the applet uses, you can still go directly to the graphic and download
it.
So, perhaps an applet is the way to go with precautions taken not to provide
graphics names or locations?
Best regards,
Sean
