Re: Display SHR from Appesoft?

[lyleh888@yahoo.com (Lyle)]

The utility called Sneeze, which is an 8-bit program, and is
available, I am sure, in a lot of places, can display SHR as well as
some 3200 graphics on a IIgs.  It also displays DazzleDraw, HiRes,
DoubleHiRes, and some other graphics, too.  I'm not sure where in
Sneeze the coding is for displaying these graphic formats on a IIgs. 
But Sneeze will only display SHR and other 16-bit formats on the IIgs,
not the 8-bit Apples such as the IIe or IIc.
