[comp.sys.mac.apps] INFO REQUEST - MAC GIF VIEWERS

schitre@freke.claremont.edu (03/16/91)

Hello net land-
	Over the past couple of months I've been playing around with the GIF
viewers on our campus VAXen and I've been having a lot of fun with them. I've
even found some really nice fun GIFs. Problem is, I own a Mac.
	I'd appreciate some info on current Mac compatible GIF viewers. We have
a copy of the shareware QuickGIF viewer, but it doesn't seem to like any of the
files I try to upload to the campus Macs. Since I have an SE (no color) I can't
use it myself. I don't plan on buying another Mac after I graduate (when I get
rid of the SE), but I'd like to take some of these GIFs with me.
	Business contacts tell me I can expect to have a powerful IBM or Mac on
my desk at work, so I figure I might get a chance to use this stuff anyway. Does
anyone have a favorite GIF viewer they'd recommend? Shareware/Public Domain would
be preferable, though commerical software's not out of the question. Thanks.

I have a utility called GIF Converter which can view and save just about every
format imaginable.  It's shareware, $40.  It can do some image manipulation 
(tone, contrast, backrgound colors, etc), and is very easy to use.  I got it
from a friend, but I imagine the usual user groups have it as well.
