Well, relatively speaking.  The entities will be exploded in the image of the
drawing, but not in the original drawing.  The original remains intact.
However, the work space required to generate the saved image will inflate the
file size allocation of the drawing even if you are writing out to a layer
file and not placing the image in your existing drawing.  So save your drawing
first and then abort after the SavImage or you'll have to LyrUtil to
recompress.  I've seen some of my files inflate by several megs after a 
SavImage.

I didn't want to post a separate message for this, but I haven't received 7.04 
yet either.  I, too, wonder if I'm registered.  I wish there were a way to get 
this information from the Web page or BBS without bothering the company.
