Is there any way to have GIF files as the backround in win3? I believe what is nessecary is a converter from gif to bmp. Does anyone know of a pd or shareware converter? -Ron Ron Winograd <Insert huge 20 line sig here> ron@vpnet.chi.il.us

Then, boot up windows and read in the PCX with WINDOW'S PAINT and save as a .BMP. Works fine. -- Maurice Thaler SYSOP Audio Projects BBS (608) 836-9473 SYSOP Power Board BBS (608) 222-8842

In cica.cica.indiana.edu there is a programa wingif.
With that program you can view the GIF file and save it as a .bmp

[-Ron [Ron Winograd <Insert huge 20 line sig here> ron@vpnet.chi.il.us I just downloaded a program from cica.cica.indiana.edu called pshop.zip from the pub/pc/win3/util directory that converts perfectly from and to: GIF,BMP,PCX very useful program.
