I haven't done much with the new version, but a quick perusal of the docs  
turns up no mention of GIF files at all.  I think the author may have removed  
all support for GIFs.  Support for Bitmaps is substantially expanded,  
though.  The screen blanking feature has also been removed, and many new  
features have been added.  It almost looks like a different program; maybe it  
is.

I'm a little confused, though.  The old version that I had (dated  
August 89) supported GIFs on VGA with no problems.  What version are you  
running?

Perhaps a new program I found yesterday will be of help.  It converts GIF  
files to BMP (bitmap) files.  I'll send it to Fernwood (141/209; 203 483 0348)  
and Ohionet (157/512; 216 241 6727) as GIF2BMP.ZIP.
