Hi Zaeem,
If you just want to use it as an image use the following:
Image im = Toolkit.getImage( fileName.gif );
Otherwise you can just use FileInputStream and read it in as bytes as it is just a binary file anyway!
Regards,
Manfred.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
