Okay. I got a few scanned TIFF files in here and I want to make some wallpaper. HOW? I have searched some FTP sites to no avail. Also, someone said there was a Little Mermaid BMP file on cica.cica and I cannot find it. Help? -Barry

There is a program called HIJAAK that will do what you want. It is NOT shareware however. Renee Roberts Renee@cup.portal.com

I have searched some FTP sites to no avail. Also, GRAFWK46 was posted in comp.binaries.ibm.pc. It can convert many different formats (TIFF, GIF, PCX, etc). I used it once to convert TIFF to PCX, then bring up Windows 3.0 Paint program to read it in, finally save it as BMP. It handles 16 colors pictures very well, but not the 256 colors (may be I did it wrong 8^). I'm currently using a series of Nagel's painting as my wallpaper. Note: the color pallettes changed somewhat, therefore, the BMP file is slightly different than the original GIF (or TIFF). >someone said there was a Little Mermaid BMP file on cica.cica and >I cannot find it. Help? You are right. It's not in /puc/pc/win3/bmp.
