I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned IIGIF. It is a PD GIF viewer for the
Apple // series. It is available in PORTAL, and if anyone is interested, I
believe that I could run it through BINASCII, and post it in the binaries file.
The images are not as good as with SHRConvert, but I used to use it to preview
files, as it is much faster. I do not remember if it requires 64K, or 128K, but
as it is ProDOS based, it needs as least 64K. Its a nice program.
