PowerPoint to .GIF

[Paul MacGyver Carman <paul -dot- carman -at- HARRIS -dot- COM>]

Greetings all!

Special thanks to Michael Cargal for helping me get the
PowerPoint graphics into .GIF format (with tools I had in-house).

   * I captured my screen with the Print Screen key, pasted the
     image into an LView window, and then saved the image out
     as a .GIF file (which I then converted into a format my
     UNIX application could import).

Thanks to Harvey Millman, Arlen Walker, and Faith Weber for their
HiJaack suggestions.

I've put in a purchase order for HiJaack Pro, and I'll let you
know how that works.

  ** One limitation I encountered with my application deals with
     non-vectorized graphics (bitmapped images).  When I scale the
     UNIX application with the bitmap, the image gets very "blocky."

     I've heard that HiJaack Pro provides some vector graphic
     drawing tools, so I'll see how that works.  Apparently,
     vectorized graphics scale nicely; non-vectorized
     graphics (bitmaps) do not.

Thanks again to all who responded!
