    I know this seems trivial, but I need help viewing GIFs on my IBMPC.
I know how to locate, download, decode, and store them, but I do not 
know the WHATs and HOWs of viewers.  Would someone give me some explicit
information on how to use a viewer.  I have read all the FAQs, but they
do not help.  I am kind of new at this.  Thank you in advance.

For those who've been looking for either:
	- XV for 24-bit displays
	- PostScript to GIF/Raster/PPM/whatever

ImageMagick 2.0 posted in -- oh, one of the sources newsgroups --
has what you need.

Well, it may not have all you need, if you like xv's color editing
facility, and its interface isn't so nice, but it handles 24-bit
images, with interactive rotating, reflecting, scaling, normalizing,
gamma correction, inverting, grayscale, noise filtering AND it has
the best color quantizer in the business.  Also reads and writes
these formats:

       Tag       Description
       ----------------------------------------------------
       AVS
       CMYK      Raw cyan, magenta, yellow, and black bytes
       FAX       Group 3
       GIF
       GRAY      Raw gray bytes
       JPEG
       MIFF      Machine Independant file format
       MTV
       PNM       Portable bitmap
       PS        Postscript
       RGB       Raw red, green, and blue bytes
       RLE       Utah Raster Toolkit; read only
       SUN       SUN raster
       TEXT      raw text file; read only
       TIFF      Tagged Image File Format
       VICAR     read only
       X         select image from X server screen; read only
       XBM       X11 bitmap
       XWD       X11 window dump

Note the PostScript.  Yes, it displays it, and you can quantize it and
save it as a GIF (or whatever).

This can all be done with one program: display.

To the author (John Cristy): display displays if I specify -backdrop,
but if I don't, it makes a window that resizes itself down, down, down,
and disappears (program doesn't exit).  I get no popup stuff, either;
keyboard sequences seem to work, but no popup menus, no image
information display.  This is true running OpenWindows 2 or 3, and
X11R 4 or 5.

HiJaak is a utility for converting lots of graphics formats, but it
costs more than Alchemy.  Just register your copy of Alchemy.  You'll be
glad you did.

I've downloaded ImageMagic 2.0 but cannot
"make" it on my HP-UX 720 machine running OS 8.05.
It tells me that a few /usr/include/X11 header 
files are missing, has anyone a clue where they 
are gone to ?
On HP-UX 8.07 I couldn't find them either, but
on 8.02 they are still there ?????????

Any ideas John Cristy if you read this ?????

Sounds good -- does it do Word Perfect .WPG files and AutoCAD .DWG files

================================

I have 24-bit pixel-images  and want to print them on 
a dumb CMY device.  The only thing this device can do 
is printing dots in Cyan, magenta and yellow in three
passes one over theother.  There is no possibility to
change the dotsize or -lightness.

Since this is a common problems of earlier programmers
(in times before postscript), I suppose that there are
people, who did this before. A piece of sourcecode
would be good, especially if written in C.

  I'll bet this is the most commonly asked question this group
recieves, but at the risk of sounding stupid and being redundant,
I'll ask it anyway. How do you display a gif on a sun machine
(sparc or sun3)? Must you have xloadimage? If so, where do you
get this file? Another question is what does the beginning of a 
gif file need to look like? Any help would be much appreciated.

This is an HP problem, not an ImageMagick problem.  HP stores
includes in /usr/include/{RELEASE}/X11 and libs in
/usr/lib/{RELEASE}/X11.  Add the flags "-I/usr/lib/X11R4" and
"-L/usr/lib/X11R4" to the CCFLAGS entry in the makefile, and it'll all
work fine.  Pretty quick on my 710 - is your 720 a CRX with 24 bit color?

How about registering it. It's shareware, NOT freeware. The registered version
converts larger files.

Subject: PPM to GIF wanted
Date: 4 Sep 92 20:24:49 GMT

I while ago I believe someone posted a utility to read a PPM file, color
reduce to 256 colors, and Floyd-Steinberg dither it.  This program
supposedly gave much better results than doing the same thing with
pbmplus.  The idea was to be able to better convert to GIF files.

I can't seem to find this utility.  Could someone please point me to it?
Or did I just imagine it?

Thank you very much.
