If you have access to FTP, one place you can get GIF sample pictures is the SIMTEL20.ARPA archive. Do a cd to PD1:<MSDOS.GIF> and there they are. Use "anonymous" as your user name and it should let you right in. Gary Duzan Time Lord Third Regeneration Atari Enthusiast Extreme

Well I got APAC/GIF off the net, and I asked if anyone could post some pictures for it. I got the following suggestion: In article <4033@udccvax1.acs.udel.EDU> gdtltr@vax1.acs.udel.EDU (Gary D Duzan) writes: > If you have access to FTP, one place you can get GIF sample pictures is the >SIMTEL20.ARPA archive.

APACVIEW responded with like "Not GIF Format" or the equivalent. Just for laughs I tries unarc/crunch'ing them, and it seems they aren't arc'ed. Any suggestions? Or would someone be kind enough to pack up a few and post them? I'd love to see how well APAC works. BTW I did try COLORS.GIF which was in APACVIEW.ARC, it displayed, but it was difficult to tell what APAC was trying to demonstrate with it. It did work though. -Stan

It did work though. > There should also have been some documentation (text) files--at least one. It describes what the COLORS.GIF file is for. It is a reference to use to set your monitor colors. I was surprised at how much of a change I had to make with my monitor/tv to get the colors to match the discription in the text file. It did seem to help the color of the GIF pictures I have, although seemed to have little effect on the TV viewing. BTW, I got most of my pictures at our Users group meeting. That is another good source (if there is a meeting near you). Kit Kimes AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, IL ...!att!ihlpe!kimes

APACVIEW responded with like "Not GIF Format" or the... Did you set the proper transfer mode before getting the files. If you use binary mode, it probably won't work. simtel20 is a DEC machine with an evil word size of 36 bits. What you probably want is type tenex. This is explained in some README document on simtel20 in the login directory if you want more info on the topic. Ken Sumrall ken%hpclove@hplabs.hp.com
