If you add '+FN' on the command line
or the moral equivalent on Windows:
	[Render] [Edit Settings/Render]    ==    Alt-R Alt-R Return
and change the "Command Line Options" to include "+FN", you will
generate .PNGs, which are losslessly compressed.  Much smaller than
.BMP (still larger than .JPG), but preserve everything.  Using
.PNGs will make it easier for your students to take pictures home.
