My addition to this: I'm using vgif on a CGA card (Z-158 display, actually). When I use vigf's 2-color option, it appears that the lower portion (one-fifth, maybe?) of the picture is missing. That is, the screen is filled, but the picture looks like it should extend lower. AND, when I try the 4-color mode, the picture is twice as wide as the screen -- I can see only the left half of (the upper part of) the same picture. Can anyone explain this to me? Also -- there was a showgif program posted a couple of weeks ago, supposed to be a CGA viewer. It looks sort-of like it's in uuencoded form, but there's a "table" keyword and a list of printable ASCII characters preceding everything else. I tried uudecoding it anyway, but the result hangs my machine so that I must soft-reboot. So, What is this program? What format? Does it work? ____ "I've been trying to remember if I was stoned tonight." - Zonker
