Does anyone know of a way to display GIF's on an Amiga2000? Thanks.

hamgif, or giffy as it's sometimes called, displays GIF pictures quickly, but is not very reliable when it comes to converting 256 color VGA GIFs to the Amiga's HAM mode. To my knowledge, the best GIF-to-IFF converter is called ShamSharp. It's slower than hamgif, but it makes beautiful HAM pictures from VGA GIFs and it leaves you with an IFF picture that you can load into any Amiga graphics program.

What a crime :-) I replied to the original post, because I believed he didn't know what the numbers were. The reply I received confirmed this. So leave the guy alone. Back to the subject - GIF to IFF conversions. In /incoming/amiga on xanth, there is a program called 'giftoIFF.zoo' (or something like it). It does the job for me.

I like to use hamsharp to convert the gifs to iff and use digipaint or superview to scroll around in them. jeff
