What is the latest version of GIFfer???  I have version 1.0 but someone
told me that version 1.1 is out (a MAJOR bug fix).  Has anyone heard of
this?

Thanks,

We recently got a QMS color printer.  As I am the 
net manager, It was my duty (as I see it) to find a 
great color picture to print out on it for it's 
maiden voyage.  

Well, we have the BMUG CD-ROM loaded with great GIF
color images.  When I open them with GIFFER, the color
is great, but I cannot print them from Giffer.  So I
save them as pict and open them with SuperPaint and
MacDraw II.  Unfortunately, I loose all the color
information and end up with a b/w image!

What is the proper procedure to take Gif files and
get them to a color printer?  What application can
I use?  Thanks, send responses directly to:

Well, it's actually quite simple!  All you need is a program called
Vision Lab.  Its PD, I believe.  With it you can save the gif file in a
number of formats, including color EPS.
