GIFs GALORE CD ROM - Reviewed by Tony Thomas
CD-ROM drives are a wonderful tool for computer graphics enthusiasts
like me. Eight-bit color graphics images are notorious for their disk
robbing capabilities. Just four of these images can consume over a
megabyte of drive space. A single CD-ROM, on the other hand can hold
thousands of such images. Walnut Creek CD-ROMs new GIFs Galore is a
perfect example of such a disc.
The GIFs Galore collection is a wonderful assortment of over 6000 images
in Compuserve's popular GIF format. All kinds of images are included:
from lovely models in swimsuits to animals, cartoons, clip art, nature
scenes, famous people, stunning raytraces and fractals and much more.
Shareware viewers are also included for various computer platforms
(including Amiga, Atari ST, DEC Station, Mac, MS-DOS, Windows, OS2, SGI
Irix, SPARC and X11) to allow you to view all of these images on what
ever computer system you may be using since the image format is device
independent. The images are stored in subdirectories on the ISO 9660
standard disc with titles ranging from "THINGS" to "REPTILES". There
are birds, boats, buildings, cars, dogs, fish, flowers, food, frogs,
hunks, insects and trains. There is an ample swimsuit subdirectory with
about the most complete collection of such GIFs I've ever seen. These
are all G & PG rated--you won't find any racy adult stuff on this disc.
One feature I really like is that there are catalog GIF files in each
directory (labeled 000cat.gif, 001cat.GIF, etc.) allowing you see the
contents in that directory in a reduced matrix, similar to those
produced by programs like GIFCAT and GIFDESK.
With GIF Galore, Walnut Creek CD-ROM has produced the best collection of
GIF graphics I've seen at any price. Five Stars *****
