Does anyone have a file format for GIF files? I need a complete definition of this please. I prefer e-mail, but post if you can't get thru. Harrison Cooper Evans & Sutherland 801-582-5847 utah-cs!esunix!hcooper hcooper@esunix.uucp

There has been a lot of traffic lately concerning GIF file formats, and rather than continue to have individual requests every 5 days or so, could someone in netland publicly post the answers so everyone's needs can be met. I too am interested.

I too am interested. They are in the monthly F(requently) A(sked) Q(uestions) posting in comp.sys.ibm.pc, of which the inaugural posting was just five short days ago. You can get this file by: rewinding your comp.sys.ibm.pc file index to around 50100 and reading. (Some of these requests have been cross-posted to c.s.i.p, hence the reference in the faq.) kaleb@mars.jpl.nasa.gov Jet Propeller Labs Kaleb Keithley spelling and grammar flames > /dev/null

I too am interested. Well, I have an online GIF standards doc here if anyone wants it. If there's a central place (machine on the net) that such documents are being kept (that, for example, Jef Poskanzer's weekly info posting mentions), then maybe it should get stuffed there. /Ken

I too am interested. Ok, here goes. For information on manipulating GIF images, there is a set of routines available form SIMTEL20 (and wuarchive.wustl.edu) in PD1:<MSDOS.GRAPHICS> (or /mirrors/msdos/graphics) called gif_lib.zip which also contains the GIF image specification from CompuServe. In the same directory, there is a file called TIFF50.ARC (or .ZI, I can't remember) which is the full description of the TIFF image format. I hope this helps. -Sean Cox -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sean_Cox@mts.rpi.edu \ "Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a userGDQT@RPITSMTS.BITNET > comedy for those who think." -Jean de LaBruyere skeeve@pawl.rpi.edu / "F*ck 'em if they can't take a joke." - John Cox
