Well, I tried converting the files using CONVERT.exe, which came with MMEXPLORER but it wasn't very successful. For example, there is a 640×480 gif of 2 trees in one of the NAAUG lessons. Supposedly the left tree uses only 125 colors and the right tree uses 250 colors, but they look about the same. You are supposed to delete the right tree and see how many colors are used in the left tree. After I convert the gif using CONVERT, the left tree uses 245 colors, and the right tree uses 250, so the program obviously can't resist the temptation to screw around with the palette while it is converting it. Other lessons say that I should look at how they have made little groups of colors in the palette. I know CONVERT will not exactly preserve the palette so I can see this – are you saying that you have something that will – okay then I want ANI1-A.zip thru ANI1-F.zip, which I DL'ed from the ACAD forum – any of these which have gif or .flc files at greater than 320×200 I would like to get in a 320×200 format with the palette same as the original. Is this enough info, or do you need me to figure out which ones this is (the stuff is at home, so I don't know right now which ones I had to convert). Thanks for the help!
