- Hi all,
-
- I got some gif files and converted them to os/2 bitmaps using a conversion
- utility, gif2bmp which I got from GEnie. When I try to use the converted
- bitmaps as a background for the desktop or lockup, the image is not displayed
- correctly -- it is scewed and wrapped across a diagonal.
-
- I thought that the gif2bmp utility was probably messing them up in the con-
- version, but when I use vpic ( a dos-based image viewer ) it correctly
- displays the image and identifies it as an OS/2 PM bitmap.
-
- Does anyone know what the problem might be and if it can be fixed?
-
- Thanks,
-
