I've got a copy of the sources for Xgif, but it seems to be hardcoded for an 8-plane (256-color) display. I'd like to make use of the 16-color server I'm using to display some of the 16-bit GIF files I have, but Xgif is creating 8-plane Images. I don't understand enough about the way Xgif works to figure out how to adjust it to handle 4-plane Images. I don't want to break its ability to resize images on the fly to match a given geometry, either. Lastly (this is getting to be a taller order by the moment), I'd appreciate some tips on the use of a private colormap. Many of the 16-color GIF images require all 16 colors. That's impossible using the standard (shared) colormap. Just so you know, the OS is ISC's 386/ix v2.0.1, and the X is their own 11.3. Thanks to all in advance. Responses via email, please.
