- An even better program, IMHO, is Paint Shop Pro. You can find it via anon. ftp
- @wuarchive.wustl.edu. I'm not quite sure of the directory, but I'll go look
- and make a note in case you can't find it. It reads just about every graphic
- type that I can think of... JPG, GIF, TIFF, RLE, BMP, PCX, PIC, etc etc...
- It also converts between any of them. Oh, one more thing, _believe_ that you
- can even set the compression on GIFs and whatnot, but I can't remember off of
- the top of my head. Good luck!
