Hi folks, I need some help from you.
I'm writing a program for decoding a picture in GIF format and now I'm bumped
into the problem of "uncompressing" the LZW-coded raster data.
My problem is : I don't understand what I'm supposed to do when the <EOI>
code is read ? Should I re-initilize the string table as well, like when we
get the <CC> code ? Should I discard the rest of raster data ?

Any idea will be appreciated. THanks a lot.


Hans.
