Can anyone help me ? I would like to be able to display a GIF image from within my own Turbo Pascal source code. Is there some routine(s) that anyone knows of or could send to help with this ? I am new to NEWS, kindly sendfile or mail me. If there is a more appropriate technoque, please say. THANX. Doug Colman. Does anyone know how GIF images are actually scanned ? On what kind of hardware and software ? How is a palette of 256 selected from a possible 256k as with VGA mode 13 ?

Use anonymous ftp to log onto sol.deakin.oz.au then cd to /pub/PC/simtel-20/gif where you will find many gif related files including: Directory PD1:<MSDOS.GIF> Filename Type Length Date Description ============================================== GIF-CSRC.ZIP B 5019 901218 C source code for a GIF decoder GIF-DOC.ZIP B 35857 901218 Docs re new/old GIF formats & compression GIF-PAS.ZIP B 59023 901218 Pascal source code for a GIF viewer The description of GIF-PAS.ZIP doesnot say so, but you can assume that the "Pascal" means Turbo Pascal. If you dont have a ZIP extractor look in the /pub/PC/simtel-20/zip directory there should be a file called pkz110eu.exe which is a self-extracting archive file containing the pkzip program. If you dont know how to use anonymous ftp, talk to your friendly system administrator... Stephen Peter steve@cad0.arch.unsw.oz.au School of Architecture, University of New South Wales, Australia.
