Hello Out There! I am wondering ... Are there any FTP sites that hold Apple size GIF's *besides* the sites listed as being specifically Apple II sites? I keep finding sites with very strange sizes and GIF3200 just crashes when it tries to run them. Thanks! Tony

Thanks! It sounds like you have the older version of GIF3200. Version .1 worked with only 320 * 200 size pictures. Version .2 works with any size GIF even though it's kinda brain dead on how it makes you choose what section you want to look at. Hopefully Lord High Giffer or a new version of GIF3200 will come out soon. (Boy I'm starting to get annoying about this aren't I? I bet Tood Whisell thinks so!) By the way, I think you understand this, but there is actually no such thing as "Apple size GIFs".. The GIF standard was created for transferring images between computers, no matter what the source and destinatio color capabilities. (Does that last sentence sound 'canned'? Probably because it's similar to a line I wrote in this final project I wrote for a technical writing class.... It was about the GIF standard... Basically I took the info I could find, and translated it into semi-understandable gobbleygook rather than the normal nonunderstandable gobbleygook. Seems CompuServe'd do a better job since they invented it!) LZW compression is -neat-. Does SHRConvert use it? -- <unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! ULTIMA VI GS -mail me. CDs-mail me>
