  Well, folks, for those of you who've been waiting for a way to view GIF files
on your Mac Plus, SE, or II, or who've wanted to be able to convert between
the various graphics formats (PICT, PNTG, EPSF, TIFF, RIFF, GIF, etc), then
this is the software for you.  I've posted the latest demo version of GIF
Converter 2.0, version d12 to Sumex.  It should show up there sometime soon.

  If somebody will tell me the format of postings to comp.binaries.mac, I'll
post it there as well.  I included some of the documentation in the header I
sent to Sumex, and the complete release notes are included in the stuffit
file.

  In brief, the software is a fully functional program, but it corrupts
images as they are displayed on screen, or saved to another file (doesn't
bother the original, of course).  This lets you test it out on your machine.
If you then send the $40, you get a complete documentation package, the latest
version of 2.0, the release version of 1.0, and the key to unlock 2.0.  This
key will work to unlock further updates of 2.0.

  The program works on black-and-white machines as well as 8-bit machines,
which should be a welcome break for anyone who's ever tried running Giffer on
a Plus :-).

--Mike

P.S.  I'm just a super-satisfied customer, who actually got permission to post
the software...
