GIF2LBM is a *very* simple bitmap converter. It converts plain 256 colour GIFs to the LBM format used with Themie Gouthas' XLIB. It also saves the palette separately in a *.PAL file. As I said, this is a *very* simple converter. It doesn't do much in the way of checking, and it seems to have problems with GIFs that are bigger than 200x200, although I think this is due to the limitations of the PBM format, not my program. The idea with GIF2LBM is to use it to convert small GIFs into PBMs and PAL files. Then, to make these files useable in XLIB, just use the LBM2PBM executable. I've added this executable to the ZIP archive with its source code. I've also included my own source code, and an example TurboC 3.0 project file. To compile the program, you will need XLIB06.ZIP, or some other version of XLIB, and VGL20.LZH, or just the VGLGIF.C program. Anyway, you'll figure it out if you want to. Daniel Hatadi 2/11/93
