hi,
i remember seeing a posting a few weeks ago to the effect that
gifconverter 2.0 was being sent to sumex and possibly comp.bin.mac
so where did it go???
also, does anyone know what the status of the vision lab program
is?? i haven't seen it in the ftp server at sumex in a long time and would
like to use it.
thanks in advance,

I posted GIFConverter 2.0d12, with the permission of the author, to sumex, and to comp.binaries.mac. This was several weeks ago, and I have not yet seen it come out. I wrote to the Sumex moderators, concerned that it had somehow gotten lost, and they replied that they are very backlogged, and that it is probably queued for posting. I don't know about comp.binaries.mac. I simply posted it, since I got no replies to my request for info on proper posting etiquette. That was two weeks ago or so. If you can't wait, it's also available on America Online and CompuServe. --Mike

Long : bytebug@dhw68k.cts.com Just to clarify what happened here: Kevin withdrew his authorization for GIFConverter to be posted after all of the flack that people threw up all over the net about demoware. In my opinion, this is one hell of a loss for the USENET community as a whole, since I think that a large number of people would find the program useful enough to buy it. Nonetheless, Kevin has every right to regulate the distribution of his software and to protect his rights as an author, so if he feels that USENET is currently a hostile climate for demo software, then it's our loss. --Mike Disclaimer: I think that disclaimers are an incredibly sad statement about our society. Nonetheless, nothing that I say can or should be construed as having been said by anyone. Ever.

I ftp'd several GIF files from sumex. The filenames
all had a ".hqx" siffix. I used binary transfer to
move them both to the VAX here and to my Mac.
I then ran them thru BinHex 5.0, buf Giffer was unable
to read either of them.
Can anyone offer suggestions why this didn't work?
