FSC-Control: UFGATE newsin 1.27 From: bjames@lehi3b15.csee.Lehigh.EDU (Binoy James [890904]) Hi folks, Another question. Is there a program that will convert a scanned TIFF file to a windows 3.0 bitmap (ie, desktop background) I tried Grafworkshop 4.6 and it won't let me save a tif file to a windows bmp file, it says it can't create a .bmp file! So then I converted it to gif, using gws, then using gif2bmp, I got a bmp file but it looked really bad! Any alternate ways to do this or other programs that are available ( any on anon ftp?). Thanks, Bin * Origin: SpringBoard Communications (3:771/110) SEEN-BY: 771/110 150 170 180 772/20 FSC-Control: PATH: 771/110

However, you can save it as a .pcx file and convert it using the paint program supplied with Windows 3. -- Sincerely Yours Tris Orendorff tris@alzabo.uucp ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ALGERNON: The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live ... so Bunbury died.
