GIF files come with there own palette. A gif displayer in PM must map the GIF palette to the pre-selected palette of PM. This causes some distortion. OS/2 1.2 is advertised to allow an application to select a logical palette. OS/2 1.1 PM allows 256 colors in BGA 8514 mode. and OS/2 1.1 PM allows 16 colors in VGA mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Ralph E.

Everything I try gets me the message "SYS1804: The system cannot find the file ."
