[comp.sys.mac] ScreenGems evaluation and DeskPict v1.2 requested

 Hi,

 Last week I requested some info on converting gif files to PictID=0
 files to use as backdrops using DeskPict.  But my problem as I stated
 earlier, is that the clut gets messed up and I only get a part of the
 color.  I was told that the problem is with DeskPict.  Currently I am
 using version 1.0 of DeskPict, and I think version 1.2 exists.  If
 anyone could mail me a copy or point me to the right archieve, I would
 greatly appreciate the favour.  Apparantly all my attempts to send a
 mail to the actual author (Clay Maechel) has failed.  If anyone would
 provide me with the right address I will try to contact him personally.

 I would also like to receive some information regarding a commertial
 package called ScreenGems.  Is it worth the price?  Does it display the
 pictures with the proper clut?  Does it work properly on the IIci?  Is
 there any other PD/Shareware/commercial backdrop program that does the
 job gracefully?

 Please reply via e-mail if possible.  Thanks.

 Haseen.
