BmpGif/2 Bitmap to GIF Converter Version 0.90 September 29 1993
Copyright (c) 1993 Peter Nielsen. All Rights Reserved.
Usage: BmpGif2 infile[.bmp] [outfile.gif]
You are free to use, copy and distribute BmpGif/2 for NONCOMMERCIAL use,
as long as no fee is charged and it is not modified in any way.
The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe
Incorporated.
Notes:
1) If the filenames you specify don't contain periods, BmpGif/2 will
automatically append ".bmp" to the infile, and ".gif" to the outfile.
Note that HPFS filenames can include multiple periods, but the presence
of even *one* will prevent the automatic append.
2) Since GIFs can't handle 24-bit images, trying to convert a 24-bit
BMP file will only give you the message, "This version of BmpGif/2
cannot convert 24-bit Bitmaps."
Sample invocations:
BMPGIF2 MYBMP (This creates MYBMP.GIF)
BMPGIF2 MYBMP MYGIF (This creates MYGIF.GIF)
BMPGIF2 MY.FILE.ON.HPFS MY.GIF.ON.HPFS (This creates
MY.GIF.ON.HPFS. Note
that .GIF is NOT appended).
