  Okay, I will.  Yes, The Graphic Exchange (by John MacLean), along
with Library Disk #1 (which either is now available from RWP, or will
be very soon) can load GIFs of any size (as far as I can tell), do
some amazing pallette selection (1, 16, or 200 pallettes), and save
the result.  The conversions are all VERY fast.  Once Todd has LHG
working and doing good color optimizations, I'd love to do a time
trial.  I think TGE can hold it's ground against just about anything.

  TGE can save (and load) EVERY existing 3200 format.  It'll do the
French 3201 (or whatever you wanna call it), it'll do Brook's format,
it'll do 'em all.

  If you do lots of work with pics (Especially GIFs & 3200s), I highly
suggest you call RWP right now, and order yourself a copy of TGE.
John MacLean has put a LOT of work into it.  RWP's number is (619)
442-0522, and the item # for TGE is 271...

  No, I don't work for RWP...

  Nice, Tim.  It's beautiful.  It's even short enough so that it
doesn't wrap around when people quote/caption/whatever it...
