Does anyone know of a program that allows the apple \\c to view GIF files? I realize the resolution difference, but even a scaled down version of a gif file would be nice. _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | University Of California | dbainbri@ics.uci.edu | | Irvine | | |_______________________________________|_____________________________________|

Note that there is an apparent bug in IIGIF that causes weird problems to occur when reading from a 3.5" drive. Fortunatly, Ralph P. Carpenter has sent me a patched version (thanks again, Ralph!) that will work correctly with the //c. I don't know if this problem extends to other apple using 3.5" drives. You should be able to get the normal IIGIF from the usual apple ftp sites, but if you cant't ftp or you want the //c patched version contact me and I'll send it out. (BTW, Mr. Carpenter, is it O.K. for me to hand this patched version out?) **** attention A. Chris Long, jr. **** (on this same subject) Sorry, my mailer demon doesn't think much of your address, so while I am posting... In addition to the stuff above, if you have a //gs, you would really want SHRCONVERT, which does the same thing but using super hi-res. Again, this could be had from any of the ftp sites for apples (Harvard, 128.103.1.56, Kentucky, 128.163.128.6, or Michigan, 35.1.1.43) These programs are also available on national networks (well, GEnie is the only one I am definite about) If all else fails, email to me and I'll see what I can do about getting these to you. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ _ | / _ ar \/ ggray@wpi.bitnet | << generic clever and witty saying >> \_| ra / ggray@wpi.wpi.edu |
