- ViewGif 3 -- the definitive NeXTSTEP-based GIF viewer
-
- Tired of those faded GIF blues? Your worries are over...
-
- ViewGif 3 is a NeXTSTEP-based GIF converter and previewing application.
- ViewGif 3 is optimized for opening large numbers of GIFs from CD-ROMs
- or other GIF collections and libraries. ViewGif 3 *requires* NeXTSTEP
- 3.0 or above on a m68k NeXTSTEP machine. Future releases for NeXTSTEP
- for Intel Processors are planned (source is available now with
- registration).
-
- Features include:
-
- Multi-threaded application emulation (i.e. the application is
- responsive to user events during the decoding process for the images).
-
- Gamma correction of images, which can yield a significant improvement
- in the contrast and color saturation of converted GIFs displayed using
- NeXTSTEP.
-
- Zooming of displayed images from 25% to 150%.
-
- Opens multiple copies of the same GIF source file if desired.
-
- Decoding process feedback and image queue.
-
- Slide show capability, which can be used for animation sequences.
-
- Saves converted GIFs as a TIFF file, using LZW compression, matching
- the display depth of your NeXTSTEP system.
-
- NeXTSTEP 3.0 Help.
-
- ViewGif 3 is shareware. A modest shareware fee of $5 US is requested. I think
- you'll find that ViewGif 3 is the best GIF viewer available for NeXTSTEP. And
- ViewGif 3 will not be standing still -- several new features are planned. See
- the Future Features section in the Help panel.
-
- So take a trial run of ViewGif 3, today. To install ViewGif 3, simply
- download ViewGif3.0.1.compressed and double-click to Decompress. Then
- copy or move ViewGif3.app into your Apps directory. An Update Viewers
- request may also be needed to enable ViewGif3.app to open .gif or .GIF
- files directly from your Workspace. Enjoy!
