GifView ver. 1.2 for MM/1
I wrote this program because I needed a relatively fast GIF picture
viewer that does not distort the proportions of the original picture and
enables inspecting its details. The graphical interface is similar to that
in my "jpegshow" program. Type "gifview" for the list of options. I
usually run this program by typing
gifview *.gif -m
Most of the options can then be selected from menus. This program ignores
fancy extension blocks in GIF pictures. Most of the pictures do not have
them.
With -m option the arrow keys can be used to scroll the picture by one
fourth in any direction. Any other key displays the next picture.
This program has been compiled just for 68000 - compilation for CPU32 does
not make it significantly faster.
My favorite application is to use it together with Ghostscript to view a
PostScript document. First, the document is split in separate page images
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=gifmono -sOutputFile=/dd/page%d document.ps
Then GifView is used to look at it
gifview -m /dd/page%
Menu item "Select" allows to choose a required page, "Scale" can be used to
magnify or diminish the picture, scroll bars enable moving within the page.
This gives the functionality similar to the Ghostview program.
Enjoy
