Can someone please point me to a GIF viewer which can display (on a VGA) in 1024x768 mode. Preferably, the package would include source to allow adaptation to custom modes and memory access methods etc... As far as I know, there is no standard way of accessing that high of a resolution on a VGA chip. ----- Richard Solomon Richard.Solomon@ColoSpgs.NCR.COM NCR Microelectronics 1635 Aeroplaza Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80916 (719) 596-5795 x386

It supports the VGA mode. I do not think that it includes the sources however. You can obtain it from Simtel20 or its mirror archive wuarchive.wustl.edu Eric DeVolder

I don't know of one that does this but the one that I have looks for extended drivres (which I don't have) so there must be drivers someplace, also the gif viewer that I have allows one to use a "BIOS mode" so what you need to do is find the mode number of extended nodes of your card (On my ATI VGA wonder 65hex is 1024x768x16 so I type m [for mode] 12 [for BIOS mode] then 101 [101dex=65hex] and give the program the dimentions. That's how I do it), the only problem is this is very slow, but its the only way I know how. GIve it a try. Stephen
