- If you're talking about pchrome3's gif function - it's not that execellent -
- apparently, it has a problem dealing with gifs that are smaller than 320x200 -
- a gif that is 200x200 will look like it has been "stretched" horizontally with
- equally-spaced vertical black bands "filling" in the necessary area to make
- a 320x200. If this 200x200 gif is "padded" with "black space" on either side
- to make it a 320x200 then the gif function of pchrome3 works fine.
-
- One thing that is odd, the "raw function" seems to handle these smaller sizes
- up to a point - I have given it some very skinny raw files (like 80x200) which
- locks up the program.
-
- All in all, pchrome3 is the BEST display program yet for the ST - they just need
- to work out a few kinks.
