[comp.graphics] decoding gif pictures

dcrevier@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (Dan Crevier) (03/08/89)

I tryed posting this message a while ago.  There have been a couple of
problems with news here, and I haven't gotten any replies, so I'm going to
try posting it again.  Sorry if the other one got through.

I am looking for source code for decompressing the LZW compression in gif
pictures.  There was a post a while ago with source for compressing
pictures.  I am looking for something like that.  If you have any C source
code that loads gif pictures, would you please send it to me through mail?
Thanks.

Also, does anyone know of a good way to display a 32 color picture in 16
colors (the problem is choosing which 16 colors to use, and which of the
colors I should map each of the 32 colors to).
