Hello PC maniacs, All those of you familiar with CSHOW know that it is only possible to view GIF-files in one way. That is select a video mode and watch the picture. Resizing, cropping, etc. and saving the resulting image in a number of formats are not possible. Recently I discovered XV. This program runs under X-Windows and allows you to modify GIF-files in a large extend. The user interface of this program is rather superb. Via simple pop-up windows, clicking and dragging you are allowed to optimize and save the view. What I want is a program like XV but then for the PC. Is there such a program? If there is, could somebody please mail it to me. If there is not, perhaps it is time to think about making one... Think about it, Guido van der Harst -- ________________________________________________________ __ __ __ / Guido "Captain Joop" van der Harst // )/ )/ ) / e-mail: harst@serc.nl Ta Ta Taah...

Well, Captain, there is a progam called "HIJAAK" (ironically enough)
which allows you to capture the screen image in a dizzying variety of
formats. You'd use with another program which displays the image (say,
VGIF, VPIC or CSHOW, currently available under comp.binaries.ibm.pc),
and display the image, then use HIJAAK to capture it as you desire.
It's commerical, but not expensive (under $100). I don't know of a
comparable Public Domain program.

Ive used hijack, and Inset (its companion program), and was not impressed To me it seemed buggy, hung computers on several occasions, and had a poor user interface. jim ...jim@surya
