I created a GIF output file using the program FRACTINT.  I then displayed
that file using different GIF viewers, VGIF, VUGIF, SHWGIF, and FASTGIF.
All showed DIFFERENT colors.  I thought the color pallette was a part of
the GIF format.  Can someone explain why different programs show the same
GIF file in different colors?  Is something defective in the file?
