- BLACKOVR
-
- I don't know about the rest of you, but I find .GIF's that
- use a white or light colored overscan most irritating. I
- can't stand the bright flash on the screen when the .GIF is
- being loaded. On my SVGA card, 1024 X 768 images a bright
- overscan causes streaks during the vertical retrace.
-
- BLACKOVR simply alters the .GIF file overscan field to the
- darkest palette entry. Quickly.
-
- USE
-
- From the command line:
-
- BLACKOVR <path>filename <outfilename>
-
- If the filename alone is given, or a path+filename, the
- file will be overwritten by the output file in either
- the current or <path> directory.
-
- if <outfilename> is included the output file will be
- created in the same directory as the input file with name
- <outputname>. No path statment is allowed for output.
-
- Control will be returned to the calling program.
-
- Option #2:
-
- BLACKOVR path
-
- This will display the contents of the path directory.
- All output goes to the directory from which the program
- was called. This is useful to process a batch of files
- to a temporary directory, use a display program to
- assure the conversion worked, then copy back to the
- original once it is known the files were not corrupted.
-
- Use mouse or number to select file.
-
- Enter new path to change directories to be displayed.
- The output directory remains the same.
-
- <esc> or <cr> alone exits program.
-
- Option #3:
-
- BLACKOVR
-
- Enters the directory display for the current directory,
- otherwise functions as option #2.

- Legal Stuff:
-
- Program is released into the public domain. It has been
- tested on my AT clone and an XT clone, but I cannot assure
- compatibility with all systems. USE AT OWN RISK. I assume
- no responsibility for damages that may be incurred as a
- result of this program.
-
- As always: do NOT use this to modify and overwrite a file
- that is not backed up. Some unforeseen glitch could easily
- zap your GIF.
