[comp.sys.amiga] gifmachine problems

doc@brewing.cts.com (Mitchell M. Evans) (01/07/91)

Howdy!

	I have been having a small problem with gifmachine.  When I 
convert pictures in their native resolution, they come out just fine,
but I have to scroll around in them.  When I append "XCOMP" to the end
of the command to reduce their size, I get some garbage at the top.  The
pictures end up 320x480, but won't scroll down.  I am using Mostra to
view the resulting .sham files.  If you have any suggestions, please let
me know.

Mostra is trying to display the image using 480 lines.  Try to specifying
"HEIGHT 400" to Mostra.  The maximum that works for me is about 430.

You should use "m <filename> height 200 width 320" to view them.
Mostra uses a file called startup-mostra in your s: directory for
configuration info, btw...  You might have it set for the wrong
height/width info.
