[comp.windows.x] GIF for X?

xmjschm@mbcrrb.harvard.edu (Mike Schmelzer) (08/24/89)

Is there an X application that can display GIF files ?

Alternatively, is there a converter for GIF <-> X color bitmap, 
and if so, how can one display color bitmaps in X?

Try xgif.  I usually use the following:

	xgif -ns filename

The Fuzzy Bitmap Manipulation (FBM) package is able to convert to a wide
variety of formats via the fbcat program.
