[comp.graphics] Yet another GIF viewer needed

lively@acsu.buffalo.edu (Richard S. Lively) (09/18/90)

I am looking for a GIF viewer with the following specifications:

   1. must handle 360x480x256 (emulate Super VGA on a standard VGA
      board)
   2. must execute via command line 

For example, CShow meets requirement #1 (under option 720x480x256)
but is strictly menu based.

If anyone has any information about such a product, either commercial
or shareware, I would be interested in hearing.

FRACTINT meets 1. and 2. if you don't mind the overkill of using a big
program for a small purpose! Downside is that the GIF decoder function is
slower than Cshow. You didn't say what should happen after the image is
displayed on the screen. You should add "askvideo=no" to the command line
or the sstools.ini file and make sure you have created the fractint.cfg 
file to avoid interactive prompts.

The shareware program PICEM meets both these requirements, and isn't overkill
either. Try a local BBS or a generic archive.
