   This is GIFConverter 2.2.10. Display any GIF, TIFF, RIFF, MacPaint, Thunderscan, Startupscreen, RLE, or PICT file on any Macintosh just by downloading this file! Uses color QuickDraw on color Macintoshes. GIFConverter is SHAREWARE, $40 plus S&H ($5 US+Canada, $10 international).
   Since version 2.2.8, LZW decompression (GIF and TIFF) has been sped up, and crashes when open PICT or TIFF files with many colors have been removed.
   Version 2.2.9 has support for TIFF LZW-compressed and RGB files. It also has the capability to change the color palette that the images use, which means it can make startupscreen files that work right at startup time.
   Version 2.2.10 has new documenation. It no longer inverts AppleScan TIFF files. It can read corrupted GIF files. A few crashes have been fixed.
   GIFConverter can do scaling by percentage, higher resolution (144 or 288 dpi) pictures, and true halftones on 300 or 360 dpi QuickDraw printers such as the HP DeskWriter and non-Postscript laser printers.
   You can print on any Macintosh printer (halftones on LaserWriter, color on ImageWriter II or any color PostScript printer and the LaserWriter 6.0+ driver (when Apple gets it to work) or many other color printers), or save to any of these file formats plus EPSF! Every feature is fully implemented, so you can test GIFConverter with your complete system!
   Support for GIFConverter is available online in the Direct Connect folder in the Mac Graphic Arts & CAD Forum. Go keyword MGR, then open up Direct Connect, then GIFConverter.
