Does anyone know where I can get hold of a gif converter for the IIGS? (I.e.
using it's full graphics capabilities, not just 6 colors).
Thank you,
Gavin Steyn

It is available in files 88-00661, 88-00662, and 88-00663 on the APPLE2-L list server at the BITNET node BROWNVM. Please remember that this is a shareware program ($20 as I recall). ==================================================================== J.

Yes, a very good shareware program for the GS that works with GIFS and all formats known to Apple is the Shareware Convert 2.1. I believe it is written by Jason Harper and can be obtained on any good Apple BBS.

Network Comment: to #382 by tank!eecae!netnews.upenn.edu!eniac.seas.upenn.edu!steyn@handies.ucar.edu There is a GREAT on for the GS and it is called SHRConvert. It is Public Domain and it is very good. It will let you convert any Apple Graphics, or Atari, Amiga, MAC, and other pics to either a compressed of non-compressed GS graphics file to be used with something like PaintWorks.

>There is a GREAT on for the GS and it is called SHRConvert. It is Public >Domain and it is very good. > WRONG!!!!. The ones I've seen say shareware. Jason deserves the money he is asking for. When I can afford it, I'll start using it myself. Meanwhile, I'll try to bum an occasional picture from friends, or do without. I am a believer in paying for value received, and Jason definitely provides value with this program. >It will let you convert any Apple Graphics, or Atari, Amiga, MAC, and other >pics to either a compressed of non-compressed GS graphics file to be used with >something like PaintWorks.

RE: SHRConvert
SHRConvert is most definitely NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. It is shareware (I think
$20 and well worth it). If you use it, pay for it!

Or you can see where you can find the program locally to you. I don't know if there is a server that has it available but I'm sure someone can give you more info on that than me. -- Bob _________________________ Pro-Graphics 201/469-0049 __________________________ UUCP: crash!pro-graphics!bobl | ProLine: bobl@pro-graphics InterNet: crash!bobl@pro-graphics.cts.com | CServe: 70347,2344 ARPA/DDN: crash!pro-graphics!bobl@nosc.mil | AppleLink: Graphics3D ___________ ____________ Raven Enterprises - 25 Raven Ave. Piscataway, NJ 08854

Not that I'm an authority on the subject or anything, and you'll probably get several other responses similiar to this, but...... The correct name of the program you are seeking is Super Hi-Res Convert 2.1, or abbreviated SHRConvert. I can't say exactly where it is located, I'm sure it's probably here on Apple2-L, and yes, any quality Apple BBS should have it. I'm running a BBS here in Grand Forks ND (yes, we're the ones by the Air Force Base from Wargames). In case you are interested, the phone number is (701) 775-2479. I'm running GBBS 1.3j 3/12/2400 buad, 24hrs, with 40megs online. Until then, Aaron Swiers - Phoenix

Network Comment: to #543 by dlyons@apple.com actually, the VERY first version, very crude, was free. Some folks talked Jason into making it shareware and copywritten and he spent a whole summer trying to track down copies and getting folks on different boards, etc. to update them.

Boy, everybody seems to be hacking me down because my finger slipped and I
typed PD instead if ShareWare. Sorry, all, sometimes I also get my terms
mixed up. Us smart people's (ahem...) memories sometimes don't always work
right...
Regardless... If you have a GS, and you like messing with graphics and stuff,
get this.
(and bother to pay the $20 (I think) also)
