What types of problems? I've been able to view gifs (mostly gotten through ftp) with Vision Lab 1.0 and GIFfer 1.0.6 just fine. Perhaps you're using old versions of the software. If you're using MacIP or NCSA Telnet to transfer gifs, make sure you do it in standard 8-bit binary (not 7-bit ascii, or macbinary) mode. :::::::::::::::::::::/::::::::::::::::::::::::::/::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :Jude:Anand:George::%\/::jg2f+@andrew.cmu.edu::%\/::jude@orville.nas.nasa.gov: :endanger:judo:age::\/\::::/\:/\::::::/\:::::::\/\::(work-related:email:only): :::::::::::::::::::::\::::/ / \/\::/ \:/\::::\:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
