Re: Alagad GIF
Have you tried dumping the object to see if there is a method for compresion ratio?

RE: Alagad GIF
Sure thing Andy, I'm now reading and writing them fine, I had to install that additional JAVA class to write the GIF, I'm just trying to figure out how to change the compression ratio to squeeze the files a little.

RE: Alagad GIF
Yeah its quite neat, One of the benefits of building ColdFusion on a JAVA based platform, means we can leverage all that lovely hot coffee goodness when we need it. :-D Rawlins -Original Message- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 May 2007 14:16 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Alagad GIF Oh...that's nice.
