Are there and GIF convertors for the Apple IIgs besides SHRCONVERT?  I have a
couple pics that are either 640x350 or 640x400.  Unfortunately, I cannot
view the entire picture with any accuracy with SHRConvert.  If I use 640 mode,
I can only use 4 colors. The pictures look truly awful.  If I use 320 mode,
then the picture becomes twice as wide (no problem, just use 'compress 
horizontal %50) but then the bottom 150 or 200 scan lines are destroyed.
SHRConvert only allows pictures one screen tall and two screens wide or
vice-versa.  Are there any GIF convertors that allow use of larger pictures
than this?  (Say, two screens widw and two screens tall?)  Then I could at
least compress the picture 50% in each direction to make the picture look
right.  Thanks...
