Re: SS/TR sofware support (was Doom Conversion)

Whew!  I'm glad someone commented on a small ProTERM upgrade.  That's
exactly what we'd need: IBM ANSI chars on 80x25 and maybe even 80x50(? is
that right?)  As for the Finder, it's alright as it is right now.  No big
deal.  But being able to display 256 color background pictures would be
sorta nice.  (Hell, that could be fixed with a startup INIT, I'm sure. 
Easy.)  The graphic viewer will be nice, however.  Am I correct in
thinking that GIFs would load instantly as on IBMs since the GIF would
just need to be decoded and not converted to 16color/greyscale??
