[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] GIF-files query.

nnn@po.CWRU.Edu (Nik N. Nik Mahdi) (04/30/91)

Hi,
   Can I view IBM's GIF format files o the Amiga? If so, how?
Can I just load the files from an IBM formatted disk, and then
convert them into IFF?
   Please explain this to me. Also, what kinds of software do
I need to do this?
   Thanks.

-Nik.

RE: IBM's GIF format....

Correction #1, its an Compuserve format and even the C64 can display certain
GIF pictures from what I have heard, and giffy or giffy2 can display the GIF
by converting it to a 16 color picture(Giffy) or to a HAM(Giffy2)..Giffy2 also
is called HamGif by certain people...

There are also other programs such as virtgif, shamsharp, hamsharp, etc, that
are avaiable on many public bulletin boards(along with giffy2), Compuserve
also has these files online...probably can FTP it from somewhere as well..
