I asked this about a week or so back but didn't get any kind of a reply,
(not even a *shut the !@#$ up!*) so, I'll ask again:
Is there a program for the // (not gs) that'll convert hires and double-
hires pictures into .gif format? I know we got one that'll read them,
but the only program I've seen that'll change into .gif is for the gs
(written by the guy that did the reader for the //+ec).

To my knowlege there is no GIF converter for the //+ec that will save in a Native Apple // graphics format, there is only the program that you refered to that just lets you view GIF pictures.

Reading GIF files is a simple process. Writing GIF files is more complex: To do things fast and effeciently, requires a table of 2^20 = 1 Meg of 12 bit values (make this 16 bit values so things are word aligned). I have 2 versions of my GIF writer in 65816: One uses this full table and is *very fast*; the other uses complex hashing scheme and uses < 64K of buffers. I also have one or two 'C' versions of GIF writers (not written by me) that I have collected. There are 6502/65C02 compilers around, so this sort of thing could be done, but I for one would not like to code a GIF writer in 6502/65C02 directly.
