GIF Files

GIF is the Graphic Interface Format - a standard started by CompuServe that
allows easy exchange of graphics among computers of different operating systems
(eg: Macs and PCs). It also provides maximum compression for faster transfer and
loading times and minimum disk space usage. In fact, archiving these files uses
more disk space than not archiving them, so we have not archived them.

These are primarily 640x480x256 color GIF files. (Some nature shots are in
black and white.) To view the files, you will need a GIF file viewer, such as
CompuShow (in GR_TOOLS). The same files in BMP format (for use with Windows 3)
are available in the Windows section of PsL.
