Hi all... I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a routine that can save a 256-color buffer into a GIF file, or a JPEG? I have these components: char pal[768]; // RGB entries char *data; // The data to be stored short width,height; // Width and height of the buffer I looked up the GIF file format, and I''m about to start a probable two-day ordeal with it, but I wanted to see if anything had done this, and was willing to share code. Thanks in advance! -- Goodlife ----------------------------- Think of your mind as a door on a house. Leave the door always closed, and it's not a house, it's a prison.

I know this probably isn''t the answer you want to hear, but is it possible to just save the image to an ''easy'' file format like BMP and then use a paint program to convert it for you? It will save a lot of coding, but then again, depending on your particular use for this, you could be doing a lot of manual conversions.

Alas, and woe is me, no.

This is for the web page I''m doing to promote my game. I need to generate the results of a survey. I know how to pass the contents of a GIF file to a web page, so I need to generate the GIF itself...
