I am looking for a program to read and write comments extensions in GIF pictures like the rdjpgcom and wrjpgcom programs for JPEG Pictures. I've wrote a ARexx script for showing the comment, but maybe a program could be faster. And I have no program to write the comment. Anyone seen such programs ? bye, Lothar Lothar Bartsch eMail: switch@doom.gun.de

Lothar: I haven't seen any Amiga program yet that will allow you to add comments to a GIF image. I believe text is only supported in the GIF89 standard and very few Amiga programs support GIF89. Looks like this would be a good programming project for you <g>. // John – (Being artistic via AutoPilot) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

John, you're right, text is only supported in GIF89 pics, but I think most of Amiga Gif viewers can show them. The problem is, I am a "ARexx-only"-programmer, but I think it's possible to write it in ARexx. The text comment reading program was easy to write in ARexx. bye, Lothar Lothar Bartsch eMail: switch@doom.gun.de
