Hi Stéphane, Very interested, but too preoccupied to have spent much time learning the hard way ;-) Come to think of it, someone posted a byte to bits script...
... Not really. If c is a char, c mod 2 doesn't make sense. I'd rather do that : function charToBits c put chartonum(c) into byteVal repeat 8 put byteVal mod 2...
Well, it is not the font... when I set the font of the text field (that receives the text I read out of a GIF file) to Monaco (which is the font the Script...
I get the following text when I use the "read" command to extract the text from two simple GIF files (they are identical except for the fact that the first has...
Here is the same breakout done on two identical GIFs... only these two GIFs are each only one pixel by one pixel... G 1 71 01000111 G 1 71 01000111 I 2 73...
The reason I am doing this... of course... is to find the byte that is used in the GIF file format to indicate transparency, and the byte that tells which...
Here is the same breakout with a dot after each pair (one pix transparent/not transparent GIF files) that is different... notice char number 12... in the...
Hi Stéphane, Still trying to get a handle on 'packed fields'. So if the size of the global color table is the last 3 bits of byte 12, i get a maximum value of...

Randall, Here are some pages referencigb vthe GIF standards,, hope it helps. Yes 256 colors, but I think there was an enhanced GIF at some point.''James Z. ...
James, Thanks for the links. I went through them before. I think I need some remedial help here. I have never worked at the bit or byte level. I have never...
James, The following link from those you provided) is an excellent layman's discription of the inner workings of the GIF format. I knew how the compression...
So, when SC's "read" and "write" commands are invoked... is there a background translation that converts from binary to ascii and back again? If so, is this a...
Maybe I am wrong... maybe it is the GIF89a format that supports transparent background declaration. If so, what is listed in byte 12 as the "background color"...
The reason it is valuable to be able to end up with GIFs that have transparent background is obvious. From what I have seen, PICT's are not supported by web...
Have you tested PNG format? Maybe that is simpler to crack? just a thought. Bruce Martin The Martin Solution PO Box 644 Delaware Water Gap, PA (570) 421-0670 ...
I don't think GIF is that difficult a format. Not more or less difficult than PNG anyway. But I don't understand how to translate from transparent PICT as SC ...
Hello: I am a former Hypercard user who finds himself about to embark on a "communications campaign" involving about forty different events, with each event...
I am still working on getting a project ready to distribute. One thing I'd like to be able to do before I make that plunge is to update old versions to the...
... To address your question... while the exercise of dissecting the .gif format may be interesting, I don't believe that it is relevant at this point in time....
Unless I am missing something in your question... just open both projects in SuperEdit... then you can copy and past windows all day long. Randall ... ...
Hi Kendall, I don't have a handle on what it is you're doing, but I can see no reason for burdening a user to have to copy windows. What you should do, IMO, is...
Hi Kendall, I think you may be trying to over complicate this. To update a project you would simple redistribute another standAlone. If you are using the...

Dear all: I can see by the replies that I need to provide a little more information about my project. It sounds like what I'm doing is different than what...
Stuart, I can't speak to Revolution, since I've never used it, but I've been scripting for over 15 years, beginning in Hypercard and fairly recently moving to...
