I am running OS/2 EE 1.2 on a PS/2 70.  The monitor is an 8515 and I have an
8514/A adaptor installed.  OS/2 knows about and uses the high res capabilty
of the monitor.  My problem is viewing GIF or BMP files.  The resolution leaves
much to be desired.  I know I am not getting what the hardware is capable
of because I can boot MSDOS and run WINDOWS 3 and view GIFs that are very
sharp. I know very little about the hardware.  I don't know if the problem I
I am experiencing is a result of an improper OS/2 installation, a bad config
setting or the user of program(s) that do not exploit the hardware.  Can
anyone help?
 
BTW, the software I have been using:
 
  On OS/2:  VIEWGIF (from LISTSERV archives at BLEKUL11)
            OS2GIF  (               "                  )
            DESKPIC (               "                  )
 
  On MSDOS: WINGIF  (From cica.cics.indiana.edu)
