MetaGif converts Windows Metafiles to CompuServe Gif files. This
DLL allows image resizeing without distortion. With this library you
can create WEB documents on the fly, from your Windows application. 
With MetaGif you can create a Gif file that is larger than the screen.

This release includes the following files:

      metagif.dll        16 bit dynamic link library
      metagif32.dll      32 bit dynamic link library
      readme.txt
      main.bas           Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 module
      test.frm           Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 form
      test.exe           Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 example program
      test.mak           Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 make file
      main32.bas         Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 module
      test32.frm         Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 form
      test32.exe         Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 example program
      test32.mak         Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 make file
      anchor.wmf         Windows Metafile
      coins.wmf          Windows Metafile
      
There are two simple Visual Basic examples using the MetaGif library.
One is a 16 bit example using VB 3.0 and the other is a 32 bit example
using VB 4.0.  Both examples are identical and they can run from one
one directory. The MetaGif DLL does not need to be copied into your 
windows/system directory to run the example. The program will convert
the two Windows (placeable) Metafiles to CompuServe Gif files. This 
Visual Basic program also needs vbrun300.dll for the 16 bit example
and vb40032.dll for the 32 bit example if you don't have it already.

The conversion from Metafile to Gif is fast, but conversion time
is directly proportional to the size of the Gif file.

MetaGif is a fully functional Shareware program. If you find MetaGif
useful and want to continue to use it, you are required to register
