Hello all.

        I own an unenhanced IIe with a simple composite monitor.  Is the
GIF reader called GIF on BrownVM the one I need tdisplay the files on my
computer?  If so, are there any Apple specific GIF files out there (anywhere)
and what do I need to do to them?  As far as I know, GIF files are just
compresed data in the form of a text file.

        Also, I have Kermit 3.84 and it will not work on my machine without
dropping characters.  I have a 65C02 in my Apple, but do not have the full
enhancement.  Also have a Apple Super Serial Card and Packard Bell PB2400plus
external modriend has told me, Kermit uses the enhanced video roms and that
would explain part of my problem.  So, is there a Kermit that will work
with the unenhanced IIe AND offer VT100?  I already use ATP and love its
emulation, but I need Kermit capabilities.  Thanks in advance....
