Is there a program out that will convert 1024x768x256 GIF to 1024x768x256 BMP? I have a program called GWS that's suppose to convert the files, but everytime I try converting it gives me an error saying something like "file can't be converted". I tried all the GIFs I have and none of them worked. What I'm trying to do is make a BMP for the background of OS/2. Does anyone have any suggestions? If so, my E-Mail address is "Nsorathia@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu"

Where does one pick up a program that does such a conversion? Get the Image Toolkit and Image Browser from the CD-ROM. The Image Toolkit can load GIFs (plus BMPS, etc.) and can save in BMP format. Load the image into IBROW and save as a BMP with the attributes you like.

Another good one, if you're a windows user, is WINGif 1.4, available from (I think) wuarchive.wustl.edu.

You can use Fractint for OS/2 2.0 to 'Open' as a GIF and 'Save As...' an OS/2 2.0 BMP. -- Jack Tan If your parents didn't have kids, jahk@uiuc.edu chances are you won't either.

Actually, PMFractl seems to be very adept at this!

Good luck on your port, though. -- Jack Tan If your parents didn't have kids, jahk@uiuc.edu chances are you won't either.

The format >specs can be found in the Windows programming ref. I beg to differ. The OS/2 2.0 bitmap format is *NOT* the same as the Windows 3.0 bitmap format. The former is a superset of the latter.
