 ===Automatic conversion from animated gif===
@@ Line 16: / Line 16: @@
 The "convert" program from imagemagick is the tool to use.
-$ convert INPUTFILE.gif -background white +adjoin -resize 79x68 -monochrome  -alpha Off -resize '96x68!' -depth 1 -negate out.gif
+''convert INPUTFILE.gif -background white +adjoin -resize 96x82 -monochrome -alpha Off -resize '96x68!' -depth 1 -negate out.gif''
+(This is 96 x 82 and 96 x 68, not that weird multiplication character the wiki makes of it.)
 For some reason these must then be flattened (does not work on one line) before converting to LCD format:
-$ for f in out-*.gif; convert $f -depth 1 -flatten f$f; ../r0ket/tools/imagec/img2lcd.pl f$f; done
+''for f in out-*.gif; do convert $f -depth 1 -flatten f$f; ../r0ket/tools/image/img2lcd.pl f$f; done''
 Now we can collect them:
-cat `ls fout-*.lcd |sort -n -t- -k2 ` > nick.lcd
+''cat `ls fout-*.lcd |sort -n -t- -k2 ` > nick.lcd''
 Copy nick.lcd to your r0ket badge.  Have fun!
