- GIFSHOW.DOC - This file
- SATURN.GIF - 32 color GIF picture
-
- and other .GIF files
-
- Please note that GIFSHOW needs to be run from MEDIUM or HIGH resolution.
- Yes, this means that it *will* display in monochrome (and quite nicely
- too, thank you). It should successfully display *ALL* GIF files that you
- will find on Compuserve.
-
- To run GIFSHOW, simply double-click on it from the desktop. It will
- display a start-up screen, then automatically cycle through all GIF
- files in the current directory.
-
- You can control the display by pressing various keys, as follows:
-
- Key: Effect:
-
- Return - terminates display after the current picture is finished
-
- Space - pauses display after the current picture is finished,
- press any key to continue
-
- F1 - sets no delay between pictures
-
- F2 - F10 - sets 1 to 9 second delay between pictures
- (F10 is longest)
-
- You can also use GIFSHOW to display individual files:
- Use INSTALL APPLICATION from the GEM desktop, and install it
- with file type '.GIF' - then double click on any GIF file, and
- it will be displayed for you.
