Has anyone got gifconverter 2.1.1 to work? I have downloaded it
from sumex, and tried opening two kinds of files.

When I open files taken from the net, it writes `Reading RLE
file`, and then `could not open "aja" because of disk error`.
This has happened with two different files on three different
disks.

When opening a PICT file, it writes `reading PICT file`, then
`analyzing image`, and then it bombs with system error 29.

What is wrong?

BTW, does anybody know of a way to read the documentation? What
happens if I open program "Just print" with ordinary (that is
A4) paper in the printer?

One last thought: one of the main advantages of shareware is
that you get it from the net or by ftp, and thus save the postage.
The $10 postage required to register as a Gifconverter user
might just make me deside to throw it out, even if I do get it
to work.
