Here is VGIF Version 1.50. It adds auto/manual enlargement/reduction
over Version 1.40, and support for Hercules. The scaling is nice if you
have only a CGA but I don't know about the Hercules. It does no grayscaling
on CGA. (I have grey.exe for people who want greyscaling - it seems to
support CGA and Hercules).
For people who don't know about GIF : GIF stands for Graphics Interchange
Format - it was developed by CompuServe as a standard way to store pictures
files that can be read on various different machines. CompuServe apparently
has a lot of pictures in GIF format. And there is one BBS (Event Horizons)
where you can get pictures for a charge. A few pictures have floated
around in netland. GIF is a (tm) of CompuServe. There are other standards,
like TIFF etc.
