- I have been using a variety of applications that are supposed to be able
- to decompress GIF files that have a TEXT resource; notably VisionLab. All
- GIF files (ones that are readable on other systems) when downloaded to my
- machine via Kermit fail with a message that they have a "bad LZW code."
- These GIF files are not compressed, uuencoded, or manipulated in any way
- except to be GIF files.
-
- Is there something obvious that I am missing/forgetting?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Richard Freytag
