I believe that FRACTINT 15.1 uses the new GIF standard (gif89a). If this is so, you will not be able to use older GIF converters until they are upgraded to the new standard. Look at the file with a text editor. If the first 6 characters are "gif89a" then that is your problem. CSHOW uses the new standard so it doesn't have the problem. CompuServe is the best place to keep up on this stuff since they are the ones who maintain the standard. -Tom -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- reply to: Tom Talbott | uw-beaver!sumax!polari!tbt | polari!tbt@sumax.seattleu.edu | 72310.2622@compuserve.com
