[---------------------- munch munch munch ------------------] I'm new to this part of the net so forgive me if this has just been discussed. It seems to me that the new Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) developed by Compuserve is now all the rage in computer land. But for the life of me no-one will tell me what it is!!!! I assume what's happening is that everyone but me knows and assumes some one else will tell me. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN... PLEASE, I BEG YOU, LET ME IN ON THE SECRET. I don't have access to cozmpuserve and cannot ask directly from the source. I tried calling and was offered a program to encode and decode GIF but no help on the format. I'd rather have a hundred answers than none. Thanks in advance, ------ PLEASE ------- PLEASE ------- I HATE TO BEG ----- PLEASE --- Ben Herman university of chicago Hospitals. (don't be surprized if they deny I exist they always do) her3@sphinx.uchicago.edu or ben@rover.uchicago.edu (I'm not sure about this address it might be just ben@rover.edu -- it's my work address not my recreational address) --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to all who sent the format ( the entire documentation by some ). If you waited to send don't bother I've got it. Thanks again. Ben --------------------------------------------------------------- her3@sphinx.uchicago.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------
