Oversized GS graphics uploaded

[90taobri@wave.scar.utoronto.ca (TAO BRIAN T)]

    I've uploaded two oversized GS paint files (APF, Apple Preferred
Format) to sandman.caltech.edu.  They are excellent greyscale
conversions of GIF's, courtesy of GIFView and NiftyList (yes, there's a
reason for NiftyList).  Since they are saved at their original size, all
the detail is preserved and not scaled down into oblivion like most
other GIF conversions.

    To display/print these oversized graphics, you need something that
can handle APF graphics larger than 320x400 pixels.  FinderView 3.0,
Platinum Paint 2.0 and DreamGrafix with the BigPic extension are good
candidates.  As far as I know, only Platinum Paint 2.0 is capable of
printing the entire picture.  Owners of inkjet, bubblejet or laser
printers can really take advantage of the extra resolution.  Setting
your printer driver to 300 dpi/75 lpi or 360 dpi/90 lpi and 16-level
greyscale will produce incredible results.

    The two pictures are of Madoka (a female character from the
"Kimagure Orange Road" anime series) and of a cut-away view of a
Mercedes 560SEL.  I have others converted, if anyone is interested in
seeing them.  They range from 640x480 to about 1055x1500 pixels.
