There's a program out there somewhere called VirtGIF that will take
any GIF picture and put it on the screen.  If it has to, it uses HAM
mode, and if it's too big for the screen, it lets you scroll around in
the picture.  If you want, I can send it to you.

A program called HAMSHARP takes longer to convert 256 color images, but it
seems to do a better job (i.e. much less HAM fringy-things) than VIRTGIF.
