The Subjectline says most of it. Addition: On a color monitor.
If such a thing exists, where can I get it ?

Thanx

Get gifspc from terminator.  It converts gif pictures to spc format.  Then
you can use spslide5 to view them.  The results aren't always that great,
though.

Yes, there is a GIF viewer program available via the panarthea archive
server.  Quite impressive in low-res with 16 colors ...  (it takes care of
pictures with resolutions higher than 320x200 via scroll bars).  It is
shareware though and the author wants $15.

Yes, there is B-GIF from the public domain. It will run on color systems
only, but as it can also convert to Spectrum 512 (.SPU and .SPC) pictures,
quite STunning.

                  Hope this helps,
