2137.0. "Pointer to F1 images in GIF format..." by STAR::BOIKO (ALPHA/VAX Performance Group - ZKO3/4) Thu Aug 19 1993 18:54

    Does anyone have any F1 images in GIF format? I've been looking through
    all the areas where GIF formated files are kept, and I can't seem to
    locate any F1 images..
    
    								Thanks

    Try SMURF::WORKB:[GIFS]
    
    From memory there are about 6 Gilles Villenueve (sp) ones there, a
    Mansell one, Patrase, A huge smash at Monaco and a few others.

    Talking of huge smashes who's smash is the one advertised on TV for
    some video like Monster Bike smashes or Car Carnage or something. 
    It a Williams I think, it looks like the present Williams colours
    anyway and the car rolls and rolls and rolls , it must have been
    some time ago as it crashes through some catch fencing and comes to a
    halt near the camera. It also looks like Hokenhiem coming up to the 
    right hander into the stadium.
    
    
2137.3how to view gifs - 101OASS::BURDEN_DThis is a Studebaker YearThu Aug 26 1993 00:4715
Find a copy of the XV.EXE file (there's one in the dir listed in .1) and either
run it or do a:

$ spawn/nowait run xv

Either way a little picture of 'XV' will show up - go to that window and click
MB3 to bring up the control panel.  Choose one of the 'root' options off the
Display Modes menu for displaying the picture in the background.  Use Load to
view a picture.

Of course, these only work with a windowing device of some sort.....

Thanks to COMICS::MCSKEANE and STAR::BOIKO for this info.
