[comp.sys.ibm.pc] GIF picture availability

drich@bgsuvax.UUCP (Daniel Rich) (03/31/88)

  I recently downloaded the GIF picture reader, and the two pictures
that were posted.  I really enjoy the program, but I have one problem
with it.  Right now I only have two pictures!

  Are there any good sources out there for GIF pictures?  Or for that
matter, would anyone be willing to either mail some to me or post
them?

	-Thanks

There are close to 1000 different GIF files on the PICTURES forum on 
Compuserve.  Some of them are large files that do not compress with 
ARC very well.  There are also alot of GIF files there that were submitted
by Amiga and Atari users that do not decode too well on a CGA or EGA 
monitor.  There are also alot of GIF files that do look very good on
an EGA monitor.

I have personally downloaded approximately 200 GIF files from Compuserve
and I would say that about 70% look good on my EGA monitor.
