[Coco] Viewing GIF files on a Coco

[David Gacke]

Hi Fred,

Yep, there's a GIF87 spec and a GIF89 spec.

Maybe the viewer only supports the older types.

Subject: [Coco] Viewing GIF files on a Coco

Hello everyone,

I noticed on the RTSI site several OS-9 utilities that claim to enable a
Coco to view GIF files. I downloaded and installed these utilities on my
Coco's hard drive. I then chose a small GIF file, saved it to a 720k 3
1/2" floppy disk, and then transferred the file successfully over to my
Coco's hard drive using the utility Pcdos. I then tried one of the GIF
viewing utilities, 'viewgif', to display the GIF file and it failed to
display the picture. Instead it gave me an error message, saying
'unknown
GIF version number'. I wasn't aware there was more than one version of
the GIF file format. How do I save the pic in the correct version of
GIF?
