- I haven't used it with GIFs that were less than 320x200, so I was unaware of
- this problem. As for the quality of pictures on my humble STE, it is
- excellent.

-
- If the GIF's are below 320*200, just use the 'select area' option in
- Pchrome, it will keep it's original resolution, but the colors will improve.
-
- (In past experience, it's a bad idea to stretch GIF's to larger than original
- size on the ST, it makes them look odd).
-
- Saw this *incredible* Black&White GIF viewer for the mac', amazing, you could
- have a 320*200 GIF, expand it to around 500*400 or some such thing, and lose
- no noticable quality AT ALL! You could also shrink it, save it, and reload
- it, then stretch it again, and the quality would be almost identical.
- I think it was M-GIF or something (not the ST version of course), but I
- can't remember. Amazing program! (It would of course convert color GIF's
- into grey-shades)
