Gif87a/89a

To clear out any misconception: this is not a medical image format. It is only included as link to most desktop image processing utilities. In our early days we didn't know about Gtk+. All we had was John Bradley's notorious XV to display our conversions. Too bad Unisys patented that LZW compression back then and went for PNG. We must remind you of the fact that (X)MedCon saves patient & study information inside a comment block which doesn't make it as anonymous as you might think.
Long before all this ... I learned image conversion in C from two excellent and rather amusing books (msdos environment): "Bitmapped Graphics" and its successor:

"Supercharged Bitmapped Graphics" written by Steve Rimmer
published by Windcrest(r)/McGraw-Hill
ISBN: 0-8306-3788-5

Do you still have a 1MB Trident 8900 SVGA card available?
