GIF2PCX by Robert Voit
                            Version 1.2

    GIF2PCX is a file converter. It will convert your favorite gif files to
pcx files.



DOS USERS:
This program may be run from the dos prompt by typing:
GIF2PCX [d:][\path\]filename[.GIF]

If you do not give the program a file name to process it will ask for one.
Drive letters and paths are valid entries to the file name.

Currently, the resulting pcx file will have the same file name as the gif file.
If you already have a pcx file with that name in that directory, it will be
over written.


WINDOWS USERS:
If you use Windows, you may run this program in a window.

The painting program for Windows will not allow for gif files to be used. This
program will convert those files to the pcx format so that you may use them
with your windows painting program.

    I have included the PIF file that I use. You will need to alter it if your
directories do not match mine. I have the GIF2PCX.exe file and all my gif files in
a directory -
C:\GRAPHICS\GIF
thus, this is the way this PIF file is setup.

This program will run in its' own window so that you may do other things while
it is converting a file for you.



ALL USERS:
    Currently this program only supports vga. In other words, all files
converted will have the pcx format for a vga picture.
