I hope you will post your 1.5 version of vgif. The version I have (don't
have the v# here) works reasonably well on most things, but when you use
the VGA mode on VGA pictures, it totally hoses the color map.
Surrealistic, but not useful.

I normally use FASTGIF, and I even took the time to register it. As you
describe the new vgif, it would be useful enough to register that, too.

Until we get a GIF group... does anyone have any converters for other
picture systems? I have seem pictures which were converted from mac, and
I think from paintbruch as well. I have some mac pictures (anyone want
me to post the CGA and EGA viewers?) and access to a scanjet to make
some images which can be made into PCPB (or several other) format.
