  Also, one of it's main attractions, file conversion, seems to be
incomplete. I once wanted to convert an SVGA 1024x768 gif into a PCX file
for editing and I got a file that was a little bigger than 800x600 that was
cropped. It seems that VPIC will only convert whatever is in memory and not
the whole file if the picture is too big. 

  I had an older version, 2.7. Does anyone know if this has been fixed in a
later release???
