Everytime I try to use it, it just says OPEN ERROR and quit automatically. I typed in the gif file but just can't figure out what I should put in for the column and line. If anyone can help, that'll be so great! Thanks a bunch! Synthia Ko

couldn't make the executable. Please, i've got a lot of nice GIFs I'd love
to convert. Thanks!!! > X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]
Err, I'm assuming you're talking about a unix version? I have not
tried to compile it, I only tried the DOS version (the protected-mode and
alpha versions both crash on me, only the normal/real mode exe works).
Hmm.. Ok, I just tried compiling it... It makes an executable, but its
fubar'd. It loads the image, makes a tabel but for whatever reason, its
giving me a suggested output of like 6608 columns and 600 rows! I tried
making it like 70x25, and its just a screen full of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Could it be cos it wants to make a 32 bit mode executable?? Anyone have
any ideas how to hack it to work on a linux??
