- After I post an article "complanining" about WinGif, I received two
- emails. Both of them asked me whether I had wingif14.zip. Yes, it is
- wingif14.zip that I downloaded. In the document wingif.txt the author
- says it is a beta release and the real released is to be out soon!
-
- In the last post I said many functions in wingif were disabled, now I
- know what is wrong with it (well, sort of ). That is because the gif
- file I opened is too large (~600K). In
- fact, when I tried to convert the large gif file to bmp file, the
- program says it can't save the file ( gif is converted by saving in this
- program). When I open a relatively small gif file, all the functions are
- active. But actually I can't use most of resize functions, because
- whenever I use them, I get "out of memory" error. I guess the program
- would be nicer if it can use extended or expanded memory.
-
- Now there is another
- problem: I convert the gif file to bmp file by saving and then I use
- painbrush to view the bmp file. Alas, the bmp image doesn't
- have so many colors as the gif file does. In fact, the image is the same
- as the one I get from gif file in VGA 16 dither mode. Can it be fixed?
