What's the REAL problem Kali ? <G>
That .GIF displays fine for ME in every combination of resolution and
colors from 640x400 to 1024x768 with 16, 256, or 32768 colors.
That's Arachne 1.62 BTW. Card is Matrox Millenium II. Mostly VESA above.
If you wish, I will send you a .ZBM of my screen - 640x480 approx 10kb
showing approximately 1/3 of your .GIF.
Now, if you mean how do you RE-SIZE the .GIF so the whole thing fits
on your screen at one time, that's an entirely different matter.
I manually tried re-sizing it by calling it from a html page and setting
WIDTH=887 and HEIGHT=670 (integer divide) but it looked like heck.
There is a program called SQUASH that does an excellent job on division
by both 2 or 3 however.
