Is this really true?
I have only loaded GIF pics through SHRconvert, and that was slow enough.
My GIF drivers for The Graphic Exchange (TGE) can save a GIF picture in about
the same time they can load one (about 20 secs on a stock GS with 3.5" drive).
And this is with multiple (16) palette conversions going on.

I know you cannot get them just yet, but I will be taking a week off work soon
so I can kick some butts at RWP and hopefully get my library disk out.

Stay tuned.
John MacLean.
