Just when I thought I figured out how to view gif files on my mac something else happens. It all started when: I didn't know how to change a gif file giffer106.sit into an excuteable file for my mac. this program is a gif viewer, or so it claims to be(about to delete it for lack of patience). I finally figured out that I should use unsit to remove the StuffIt files( or at least thats what I think I should have done). I then ported them over to my mac using NCSA telnet binary, and Macbinary enabled. I now have 3 files from the giffer106.sit, a .data, a .info and a .rsrc file. Don't know if there is any other part of the puzzle that I'm neglecting to do. But anyway Giffer1.06.rsrc runs on my mac IIcx (using Supermac color monitor). But everytime I try to load a gif file on it all I see are lines of useless graphics. I get the giff file by doing the following. Grab the files off the net. cat them in their respective order. then uudecode the resulting file, then I port it over. I have even tried manually removing all the junk in the file that the rn places in it after it saves the article, but to no avail. I'm about to till somebody(Eddie Murphy). Thanks in advance. gary gary@corwin.ccs.northeastern.edu
