Actually, I know earlier I said that the ‘-D’ option did not work for me, but I just tried it again since it seemed like dithering was suspect, and this time it worked!  I don’t know what happened before, maybe I put it in the wrong place. 

It still gives me that warning about pads not being applied, but it seems like they ARE being applied, so I don’t know what is up with that.  But it is working now — it was the -D option.

Thanks for all the help!

Bob
