chapman@ducvax.auburn.edu (03/01/91)

Can anyone tell me the provedure for loading a 256 color gif into a BMP file
that can be used in WINDOWS?  I was told it is possible but so far, I have not
discovered how to do it?

Wingif.exe loads and saves .gif, .bmp, and .rle files interchangably (256
color gifs included).

Could someone name at least ONE FTP site that actually has this??  In
exchange, I'll add even it to my anonymous FTP directory for everyone
else...

cica.cica has Wingif V0.9.  The site address is 129.79.20.22.  Look in
the pub/pc/win3 directory. I'm not sure which directory under that it
is in.
Also, Wingif v0.9 converts 256 color gifs to 256 color bmps.

Its on cica.cica.indiana.edu, below /pub/pc/win3. Get the file INDEX
from that directory and search for wingif09. If I remember correctly,
it is in the archive /pub/pc/win3/bmp/wingif09.zip.
