Has anyone else had problems with stripped bits on their GIFs when they FTP from iris1.ucis.dal.ca? No matter what I set the transfer mode to, BINARY, IMAGE, ASCII... It comes up corrupt. The picture is very dark and unrecognizeable. Does anyone know a way around this? BTW: The reason I'm posting here is because the FTP site was announced in this newsgroup. So, I'm hoping someone else tried to do what I've done and got the same results. Thanks in advance... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Do the world two favors.

To bad these .gifs were not in .tif or .pcx format. You could get an image enhancer for them. Maybe a transfer back into .pcx or .tif format and then image enhancement might do. But what does this?? CAD & Graphics has image enhancers in Computer Shopper (800)288-1611 I would look into it. Hmm, its a good ider if'n I was a programmer at heart, to make a image enhancer for the .gif format! (grin) This way one wouldnt have to transfer the formats to aquire the better image. - Greg

I don't think .pcf or .tif are one of the known forms, but it is easy to write a converter from PBM to your favorite format (assuming, of course, you have a description of said format). These should be available from a comp.sources.misc archive site. --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Interface Technology Operation

I have an AT&T 3B1 executeable set which can convert .gif format to ppm, pgm, or pbm format. I'm sure the full set of PBM utilities can get you wherever you need to go. :-) -- Mark C.
