I have the patched version, but I am somewhat hazy on the status of it.  I am
a bit reluctant to pass on a modified version of this program w/o the author's
blessing (I know I wouldn't want anyone passing out modified copies of any
programs I wrote)

Can anyone tell me if the patched version of IIGIF is from the author or has
been made with his knowledge?  If so, I voulenteer to pack the thing up and
send it out....

The reason I am so cautious is that I would think a properly working version
would have been released widely (i.e., all of the version of IIGIF out there
would be patched) or perhaps the IIGIF patched version crashes other
computers?

Until I find out this info or someone else posts, Vernon, you can use IIGIF 
off of a 5 1/4" disk if you have one.
