Even though it needs VGA (256 colors), the pictures themselves are low res... compared to most of the GIF files I've ftped. Are these GL files 640x480? I think the original poster was asking for something to test his card at its highest quality. Hence, might high res GIF pictures be a better choice than GL files? On a different note, are there high res GL files (say 800x600 256 colors)? This resolution is higher than that of the TV (even if you get close, you can't readily see the pixels like you do on a TV) and GIF pictures of this resolution is of photographic quality. A GL animation at this resolution would really be lifelike. The highest resolution GL file I have is called "goblet4.gl". This file is quite impressive but its staircasing is still quite visible. Are there better once around? Thomas.
