Command
------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: Converts an EGA graphics screen image file into a
CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file.
Format: [d:path\]ega2gif [-i] Screen-file GIF-file
Type: External
EGA2GIF Version 2.0 24oct87
Copyright 1987 by Ray L. McVay (all rights reserved)

1609 Tulip Drive
Arlington, TX 76013-4915
CIS 75006,2563
Parameters:
-i to create an interlaced GIF picture.
Screen-file is the name (including the full path, if
you prefer) of the EGA screen image file to be
converted. EGA2GIF can read three of the
uncompressed screen file formats used by RIX
SoftWorks EGA Paint 2005 and one format unique to
GRABEGA. You MUST include the file name extension
of the screen file because EGA2GIF uses that to
determine the size of the graphics screen per the
table below:
SCD 320 x 200, EGA mode 13 (not an EGA
Paint format)
SCE 640 x 200 EGA mode 14
SCR 640 x 350 EGA mode 16
SCP 640 x 480 extended EGA mode
It is not necessary to use EGA Paint to create files
with these formats since we provide you with a
"screen grabbing" utility (GRABEGA) that will create
these files from most EGA graphics screens.
GIF-file is the optional filename and path to use
for writing the output file. If this parameter is
not given the output file will be written to the
same subdirectory as the input file and will have
the same name with an extension of .GIF. In this
case the file name extension need not be specified
but if it is given it MUST BE .GIF.

Miscellaneous
Running EGA2GIF with no parameters will produce a
version and copyright notice and a cryptic little
usage message.
While the file conversion is in progress, EGA2GIF
prints a one line message showing how many raster
lines it has processed.
This version of EGA2GIF uses the GIF LZW compression
function written by CompuServe's Steve Wilhite.
