Lately I've been playing around with PICT files on a Mac II with an
interest in converting them for viewing on a GS.  In a book titled
something like "Apple IIGS Technical Reference" (NOT the Apple official
version) there is a brief mention of using pictures with Quickdraw II.
There is a handle in the GrafPort record called PicSav but there are no
toolbox routines that seem to use it.  Does anyone know if there some plan
to create a PICT like file in a future release of Quickdraw II?

On a separate note, I downloaded GIFFER 1.0 off of GEnie yesterday.  This
program will display a number of different picture formats, but most
notably the GIF type.  (The GIF format let different computers display the
same picture.)  Does anyone know where I can get any technical information
on the GIF format?  I would also like to find a source for some pictures
other than GEnie.  It takes about 20 minutes to download each one.

Thanks,

Jeff Arenberg
