Hi folks, Many of you will be happy to learn that a gif file viewer is in fact available for anonymous ftp! Check out hubcap.clemson.edu /pub/gif/viewers/amiga_giffy.uu is what you want. But there's a trick as the file is miss labled. Transfer the file as binary and rename it to Giffy2.arc. Afterwards you can extract Giffy2. This program will let you view gifs with up to 32 colors ie no ham support. There is another program called hamgif which will display pictures in ham, however there's lots of color frindging at dark/light transition spots :( A ham limitation. I'll send hamgif to the binaries group soon. -Bob rhir_ltd@uhura.cs.rochester.edu bob@uorhep.bitnet PS: hubcap has a lot of gif pics too also try 129.97.129.72 and ix1.cc.utexas.edu, ix2.cc.utexas.edu -happy hunting

Also, I have a short list of sites which have GIF pictures and accept anon FTP. If anyone is interested, mail me.
