Does anybody know if a newer version of ][ GIF exists (since it has at
least this randomly seen end-of-file bug) ?
As a related question: Can somebody tell me if the source code of ][ GIF is
somewhere / somehow available ? A friend of mine is interested in polishing up
the conversion for double hires black & white mode with selectable dithering
patterns, contrast and the like.

I have several questions concerning GIF.
Does GIF do some sort of compression like qq in BLU?
Where can I find specific information the format GIF is in?
Why do IBM GIF pictures look so nasty when they were originally a
higher resolution?(ie downconversions should look good)
Are there any other GS specific GIF viewers available other than
SHR convert?
Reply here or via Email Thanks in advance.
