[comp.sys.apple] GIF Picture Format

barry@rbdc (Barry Newberry) (03/19/90)

Would someone please post the format of GIF picture files. Please
include any compression algorithms used (or at least provide a
reference to where I can get the information). Note : I do *NOT*
have access to Compuserve. Thanks.

If you have FTP access, try 35.1.1.43.  Login, "CD PC5:", and get the
file DO.GIF.  I think this file contains the official CompuServe
documentation for GIF.
