Hi, Having been sent some gif pictures, I decided to view them on my ST.

I looked around the PD site and found a few viewers, and also GIFSPC and
SPLINDEX.

When the gifs were viewed using FASTGIF the pictures came out ok (In 16
colours) but I decided I would like to see them in full colour glory and so
feed them through GIFSPC and viewed the result on SPLINDEX - The result was a
completely messed up picture. Could be the convertor me tinks and so tried
BGIF. The resulting SPU picture was better but still not perfect as it was
still corrupt in places, (odd lines missing etc)

Has anyone else had this problem, if so has any one cured the problem. what is
the problem. etc etc etc?

My Machine is a 520STFM with 1.02 OS and 2.5M of memory
