Help! Does anyone know the specs for GIF89a? I wrote a multi-purpose file viewer (ARC, ZOO, ZIP, GIF, etc.) that extracts info from GIF files such as # of colors, resolution, # of images and data CRC. It would work fine on GIF89a's -- I think -- if I just patched it to not notice that GIF89a and GIF87a are different. But before I go Rube Goldberg'ing the code, I'd like to know what's really different in 89a. The FRACTINT people were really hip on it because it provides a documented, legal place for them to stick extra parameters. But where can I find the specs for it? I have an old file called GIFSTF.DOC which outlines 87a. Does such a beast exist for 89a, and if so, where? (Please don't say Compu$pend, as I no longer have an account there...) Thanks! -- ...
