Hello All:
	I have a problem or just a question, How would I go about using
GIF images in my programs, I don't mean 16 color images, I mean 256
color images, I really only need 320x200. But I'm not sure how to
manipulate them. 
	I've tried using the Genus PCX libraries, but I can't get their
BGI to work with Borlands. Because Borlands I think only uses 16 color
VGA. I tried using a 256 color VGA BGI driver I found, but they didn't
work with each other either. 
	What I'm trying to do is use a drawn image for a background in a
game i'm working on. Any help would be great... 

thanx in advance...
