GIFs Galore CDROM

This CDROM contains over 6000 images, in a wide variety of categories.  These
images are located in the directory ``gifs'', with a separate subdirectory for
each category.  For instance, the directory``\gifs\people'' contains pictures
of people, and the directory ``\gifs\birds'' contains pictures of birds.  Each
subdirectory of images has catalogs containing arrays of reduced images so you
can quickly preview the pictures.  These catalog files are named 000cat.gif,
001cat.gif, 002cat.gif, etc.

Viewers are included for several different systems.  They are located in the
directory ``viewers''.  Two MSDOS viewers, GDS and VPIC, are available in
\GDS and \VPIC respectively.  These program are shareware.  Viewing the images
on this CDROM with VPIC does not require registration.  Other use does.

Due to the large number of incompatible video cards, most viewers will not work
on all systems.  So if a particular viewer doesn't work with your system, try
another.  Both viewers will work better and offer more colors if you install
them for your video card.  You'll need to copy the files to your hard disk and
select the correct initialization file for your video card.  See the respective
documentation for GDS and VPIC and the "install.txt" on the cdrom drive.

Many of the programs on this disc are shareware, and require separate payment
to the author of the program for continued use.  You are free to try shareware
programs for a limited amount of time.  If you continue to use the program, you
are expected to register the program by sending a specified amount of money
directly to the author of the program.  In many cases the author will send you
the most up to date version of the program and a printed manual.  Please check
individual files for conditions.
