There is a program obtainable by doing a search using gopher etc. on
archie.  I can't remember what it's called but it should non-the-less
fullfill your requirements.

Eric;

Does your GIFSCII have any documentation with it?  I have the GIFSCII 
that someone posted a month or so ago but it was only the .EXE file.
I can work it but maybe I am missing something by not knowing about any 
switche that could do different things.

I've done a search for the above type of program, but 
everything I've come across seems to be geared towards a 
Unix type system. Does someone have a version that is 
PC/Windows3 compatible??
