I have a couple of GIF viewers that work reasonably well for GIFs with a small palette, but I can't find one that will let me save to IFF. All the GIF-IFF converters want to do a perfect job of generating Sliced HAM images, and my base A3000-16 doesn't have enough RAM to run any. Is there a GIF-IFF converter that's no more aggressive than HAMGIF or VirtGIF, that I could use on my really-1-meg-available-machine? Or a screen-snapshotter that will save a displayed screen to IFF form, so I can use an existing GIF viewer? Donations of 4 MB of ZIP SCRAMs also accepted. :-> -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.

The docs that come with VirtGIF indicate that with the $15 shareware fee, you would get a slightly different version of the program that includes the ability to save the image in IFF format. If you don't see that info box when you're running the program, there's a menu selection called "INFO" which shows the same stuff. --Tony (tony@uc780.umd.edu tony@uc780.bitnet)

Even "Snap" has a graphics clipping thing built in. You could also try one of the conversion tools that lets you say where you want the conversion to be done, so you can use your HD instead of RAM. Almost as efficient as virtual memory, eh? :) > Peter da Silva. `-_-' -- *** John Bickers, TAP, NZAmigaUG. jbickers@templar.actrix.gen.nz *** *** "Patterns multiplying, re-direct our view" - Devo. ***
