[comp.sys.sgi] gifview 2.1

jindak@surfside.sgi.com (Chris Schoeneman) (06/28/90)

Hi there,
    for those of you interested in viewing GIF files,
'gifview 2.1' is available.  (I know what you're saying:
your 'gifview' doesn't have a version number.  That's okay, you
don't have 2.1)  'gifview 2.1' has the following features:

   * color map or RGB modes available (8,12,24 bits)
   * autodetection of available hardware
   * up to 8 color map pictures at once (with 12 bit planes)
   * 'unlimited' pictures in RGB mode
   * border can be turned on (since now it defaults to off)
   * position on screen can be specified on command line
   * images can be moved, stowed   
   * images can be buffered when drawn for quicker redraws

It's a little faster and the source is a lot easier to understand.
If you're interested send me a note via email and send a copy out
to you.  I'll try to get this posted for anonymous FTP ASAP.  I'll
let you know when and where.

After trying several times, in several different ways, to make this request
by mail, I have to resort to posting this...

Please send me a copy as well. 

Thanks!

Frank
