Has anyone attempted to take the Turbo Pascal EGA code from PD1:<MSDOS.GIF> GIF.ARC and GIFDOC.ARC from SIMTEL20.ARPA (full source code) and convert it to run on the Z-100? I am not a good Pascal Hacker and I know zip on EGA programming and there are serveral of you out there that could convert it in minutes... The Turbo Pascal Z-100 routines from PD1:<HZ100> DJGRAFX.ARC for graphics would interface with little effort for the task. Anyone up to trying it??? As you all should know, GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a becomming VERY popular format for graphics images for interchange across all machines capable of some graphics. A lot of very impressive images are floating around the nets. Within a few months, I hope to have a cost effective 64 color/pixel Z-100 video upgrade which coupled with a GIF program will blow the VGA displays away. Cheers, Gern -------
