I recently received a catalog on a disk of the pictures (mostly GIF)
from a company called Event Horizons.  The have a full disks of files
listing everything from monochrome to SVGA pictures.  Many of them are
X rated, but they have a large number of Solar, Scenic and Movie pictures
also.  I know that some of their files are animation files, but I'm not
sure what Graphics mode they are in.  Event Horizons ads can be found in
the back of most PC magazines.
