GIFBIT v1.0 (c) Copyright 1989 Lawrence & Marvin Gozum, MD
GIFBIT converts B&W PCX pics (up to 32KBx32KB) from an ordered dithered
B&W pic (i.e., simulating grey shades) to a real grey shaded GIF picture.
Once converted to grey shades, these pictures can be variably resized since
grey shades take kindly to being resized. You can use VGACAD to colorize,
edit,garnish,image process your grey images; use GIFPUB to redither grey
images to any size you want for desktop publishing; or use GIFDOT to make a
hardcopy in several sizes. With GIFBIT, NO VIDEO CARD IS NECESSARY. Save
and load images without viewing them. For interactive viewing/saving, GIFBIT
supports MCGA (320x200x256), MVGA (320x200x256 with a 1:1 aspect ratio !),
VGA (640x480x16), and SVGA modes (640x400x256, 640x480x256 & 800x600x256).
GIFBIT will virtually accept ANY PCX B&W image up to 32KBx32KB; no matter
what scanner you are using, if it is in PCX B&W format, GIFBIT can process
it. You can select grey shade conversion matrices from 1x1 to 15x15 ordered
dithers. With the DFI HS-3000, you can use any multiple of 3x3 matrices.
GIFBIT features interactive brightness, contrast, and skewing adjustments;
save any viewable output or use the [F]ile mode to save MASSIVE grey images.
GIFBIT supports virtual screens and EXPANDED MEMORY (EMM support). All the
detail in SVGA pictures will be accurately reproduced from your dithered
images. By using the VDISK path you can redirect the creation of virtual
screen in RAM (i.e., RAM disk) for FAST processing or another drive for dual
floppy users. Expanded memory users can use all the memory they want.
RAW2GIF v3.5 (included) will encode images up to 32KBx32KBx256 ! It supports
1:1 aspect ratio correction and 16-color encoding as well.
