Just a real quick reponse here due to lack of time.  I caught a glimpse
of this message and wanted add my two cents.  As far as good Win 3.0
GIF veiwers,  I would recommend WINGIF which is a shareware program
available on most BBS or COMPUSERVE or GENIE.  It's very helpful and
makes excellent Wallpaper in all resolutions with a lot of options such
as changing the size as well as other features such as dithering.

See Ya.
