Can someone tell me exactly what ViewTek ( VTEK21.LHA ) does. The file discription isn't very 8^)… What I am looking for is a viewer to view gif files that has two properties. 1. Will convert 256 color (and higher if possible) so that they can be viewed on my A2000. 2. Will use a virtual autoscroll screen for images extending beyond "normal" Amiga resolution. Aive 1.7 does 1 but not 2. I have tried superview, but for some images it will complain that it can't open a display and for other images the colors a very screwed up.

Viewtek can do both of those.

AmigaOS 3.1 does both of these (though I'm not 100% sure that the GIF dataty e is included, you can download it).

Dale, I have been thinking about bying 3.1 for some time. Datatypes seem to be one of the key selling points. I guess I should of told Santa 8^).. ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360

Michael — Aive 1.7 will let you scroll using the standard AmigaDOS convention of holding the left Amiga key while you use the mouse to scroll. This key can be changed — I think via IPrefs. But you can also tell Aive to scale the pic to your existing screen. 🙂 — Tom
