[comp.compression] TARGA --> GIF

cougar@itsgw.rpi.edu (Erik D Collin) (04/06/91)

I have access to a photodigitizing system at work using a TARGA board
and would like to be able to digitize some of my own stuff and convert
it to GIF format for displaying at home.  Does anyone know of any
software to convert TARGA to GIF (or to something else that could then
be converted to GIF)?  Public domain FTPable would be best.
 
Thanks.

You want to ask questions about image handling software in
alt.graphics.pixutils; that's the group's meat and potatoes. If your
site doesn't subscribe, you probably want to get a feed started; the
folks there are the prime resource for your questions about his kind of
a project, since compression is a fairly minor part of making a GIF
file.
