Re: Inks.... :( (Depressive people don't read that :p)

There must be a solution to this... + I'm sure the algorithm is easy to  
reverse engineer (for someone who was able to RE the webcam codec :P) but  
from what I heard the ink format is not that compilcated, the complicated  
part is that the ISF is itself compressed with a 'WTF' compression  
algorithm..
WTF is not the FCC.. it's a "What The Fuck algorithm"

but I'm sure there's something else..try for example, pasting an image  
(like a background capture) and sending it through ink.. I'm sure they  
won't 'isf-ize' the background.. there probably is a comment field that  
would say "no ISF available", we could probably have a  
::CxImage::addComment $gif_file $comment_data, where TkCxImage would allow  
us to add anything we want to the gif, and thus, make it compatible...
though of that ? try searching that way...
