I put up a request asking how I could get a GIF loader for TAD. I got a reply saying upgrade to ADpro. Is that the best that a vendor forum can do? Obviously I considered that option but the TAD loaders used only to be $35. An upgrade to Adpro costs more, and I don't need or want the extra facilities as yet. Does anyone from ASDG read this forum at all? Brian

I have been checking into the TAD GIF module purchase for you. It is available for $24.45 and you can order it directly from us. Just send a check for $24.45 and we will send you the Loader for GIF. Note that TAD does not have a GIF saver. For that you will need ADPro. -Russ

Thanks Russ. I got a reply also from Jeff on Bix. The silly thing is that ASDG does not take credit cards… you wouldn't believe how un-cost-effective it is to send dollars by mail from the stupid UK. There is a local distributor, DMI, but they do not have the loader on site. I guess I will have to pay the exorbitant money transfer fee… I would upgrade to ADpro if I had a high quality graphics/monitor combination, but it is out of my budget. TAD does everything I need, and I got it as a coverdisk – Great! If there were a source of Gif loaders in the Uk, you would have a potential market of an estimated 12000 coverdisk users (based on ave circulation figs of the magazine 101,000 Jan-Jun) That's 12000*$25 = $ 300,000 potential sales. There are a lot of Gifs around.
