     I have a program called POSTER.EXE, freeware, if you want it I could send
it to you because I don't know of any place that has it on-line. Maybe it's on
CompuServe because that's the last known address of the author.
     It converts whole pictures or windowed selections of pictures to color
ANSI, formats it converts are (ICO, GIF, BMP and PCX).
     Please reply via email quoting this message if you want it because I might
not see it here for a while.
