   Re: GIF

Has anyone had any success/problems getting GIF files to work on an
IBM XT clone? Mine has the Hercules compatible graphics card-the one 
that does CGA/MGA emulation, NOT the one that does the 720X348 Hi-res 
emulation-and wont work with GIF. Does GIF require an EGA board? I know 
someone who has a Hi-res hercules card and it won't work in his XT clone 
either. Thanks

I am looking for some anonymous ftp sites where I can find some 
scanned images with 8 bit rgb values.  I am also looking for
instructions on how to extract pixel and LUT values from gif files.
If you can help me on any of these, please e-mail.

Thanks in advance,
Calvin.
