This is getting to be ridiculous...
All the talk about GIF pictures over the last few weeks (on Rec.arts.startrek
and Comp.sys.apple) have really gotten alot of people excited. I, for one,
was really interested in being able to transfer pictures from one system to
another. However, I have still not been able to successfully view a single
graphic image! I've tried viewing the fifteen or so Star Trek images
(not a single one works) and now I just tried the porsche image that was
just recently posted to Comp.binaries.apple2.
What is going on here?
Has anyone else been able to view these GIF images?
I have been following the directions given. Generally, I uuncode the files
after stripping the preceding lines of text. Then, I download the files
and try to view them using IIGIF (which was recently posted)
but it has yet to be sucessful. oh well...
Any suggestions or advice?

"uudecode" sounds like something in Unix. Where does that leave all the VMS, TSO, VM/CMS folks? If there's a more general, portable, compact alternative to EXECUTIONER 4bit, by all means lets spread it around, but for goodness sakes let's not proliferate a variety of specialty encoding schemes that only work on special systems (having one that only works on an Apple ][ with Interger ROM wouldn't be much worse than a system that only works on Unix host or a IIgs). --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
