[comp.sys.apollo] GIF viewer

apm279l@vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au (07/12/90)

G'day,

I've written a GIF viewer for apollo's (can be configured for most node
hardware, system 9 etc). It can (optionally) store a decoded GIF as
a bitmap, and taks advantage of large HDM's on some nodes. It loads
one gif while displaying another for extra speed, and can also encode
bitmaps as .gif files (for portability & saving disk space). It runs
on 1,4 or 8-plane nodes by quantizing colours, and can expand a picture
using hardware-zooms or a software expander on nodes without colour
zoom.

If you'd like a copy, email me.

Peter Hawkins

Peter,
 I've tried to email you, but somehow I can't get through.
I would very much like to receive a copy of your program, can you
please email it to me.

             thanx in advance.

For all other readers, sorry for sending this here, but it's my last
option.

	A while back I remember a GIF viewer for the Apollos
   floating around the group.  Could someone send me the source?
   Also where does one find out about the particulars of the GIF
   format?

	Thanks,

xgif works nicely.  Drop me a line if it isn't
sitting around...
