Has anyone attempted to take the Turbo Pascal EGA code from PD1:<MSDOS.GIF>
GIF.ARC and GIFDOC.ARC from SIMTEL20.ARPA (full source code) and convert
it to run on the Z-100?   I am not a good Pascal Hacker and I know zip
on EGA programming and there are serveral of you out there that could
convert it in minutes...   The Turbo Pascal Z-100 routines from PD1:<HZ100>
DJGRAFX.ARC for graphics would interface with little effort for the task.
Anyone up to trying it???

As you all should know, GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a becomming
VERY popular format for graphics images for interchange across all machines
capable of some graphics.   A lot of very impressive images are floating
around the nets.

Within a few months, I hope to have a cost effective 64 color/pixel Z-100
video upgrade which coupled with a GIF program will blow the VGA displays
away.

Cheers,
Gern
