Greetings, Well, for those of you who've been asking about decoding GIF files and converting various image types (TIFF, RIFF, PICT, EPSF, PNTG) to various other types, I have been given permission by GIF Converter's author, Kevin Mitchell, to post the demo version of GIF Converter 2.0d12 to the net. I'll post it to SUMEX, and to comp.binaries.mac. Kevin said that .d12 would be released in the very near future, so I am waiting until then to post (it apparently contains several bug fixes). 2.0d12 is a demo version of the program. It is fully functional, but images on screen or saved to disk are corrupted by vertical lines through them. When the registration fee is paid ($30 for registration, $40 for registration and upgrade path to next version), you get documentation and a software key that unlocks the demo (and any further releases of 2.0). --Mike P.S. I'm just an extremely satisfied customer. I've never gotten so much use out of such a reasonably priced piece of software!

Can some kind soul out there tell me if there exists a version of Giffer after 1.03? That version has a bug which I hope was fixed in a later version. Thanks in advance, =Steve=

The current version is 1.06 (and it's been at this version for awhile). It should be available at sumex-aim; if not, someone let me know, and I'll send a copy over there...

Greetings, I've been informed by Kevin Mitchell, the author of the keyware program GIFConverter, that he's going to convert it to shareware for public release. This decision was made, apparently, because of the controversy about having crippled software posted to the binaries archives and lists. For those of you who don't know about GIFConverter, it's a graphics application that can open and display most Mac graphics files, and save them back out in different formats (Including: PICT, Startup Screen (Mac & Mac II), GIF, TIFF, RIFF, EPS, RLE, and scan images). I will be receiving the new copy by mail soon, at which point I will upload it to Sumex and send it to comp.binaries.mac. If anyone would like to suggest another site to which I sould send it, let me know. The keyware fee has been $40, so I expect the shareware fee to be comparable if not the same. Any questions? Send them to me. --Mike (And who am I, you might ask? A satisfied customer, I'd reply).
