HI,

I did not know about this solution to get more colours when I first though 
about it. I remember it was a slow day at the job when I though about it. I was 
very excited about the possibilities. I passed the rest of the day figuring out 
how many colours it would be possible to have and how to implement it. My boss 
had no idea why I looked so busy and happy to work that day :-) 

I know I have the demo disk, with some images and the binary code to display 
them. I saw it a couple of months ago. However I am not sure I have the asm 
source for the driver. The code could be disassemble from the binary though. I 
will email you the files when I find time to do it. (I guess your email is on 
your website). If I remember well my images were not as striking as yours.

To convert the image, I did it the hard way... At the time I had no other 
computer than the QL. And there was no internet, so to speak. So I got a few PC 
disk with public domain image encoded in GIF. I then wrote a complete from 
scratch GIF decoder that output to the appropriate two mode 8 screens format. 
That was my first big programming project on the QL. I have not seen this GIF 
decoder on my floppies since a long time. I am afraid it is on some 720k 5 1/4" 
floppy and I don't have the drive to read those anymore.

Anyway thanks for bringing back those memories.

François
