A couple suggestions, first, GIF2BMP works fine for me, I've used it to convert 1024x768x256 .gif to .bmp files. Maybe your GIF2BMP version is old, I think mine is ver 1.1, not really sure. You can find it on cica.cica.indiana.edu, directory /pub/pc/win3/util. There are some other ways to convert gif to bmp. One of them is to use a program called wingif, the lastest version is on cica, directory /pub/pc/win3/upload. You can use this program to read in a gif file then save it as .bmp. There are lots of other ways to do this, I won't mention them all. -- Nan Zou | Bitnet : nan@ksuvm Kansas State University | Internet: nan@math.ksu.edu #include | nan@matt.ksu.ksu.edu
