GIF files are compatible with any computer which can translate GIF files
into pics.
When you transfer the data using Apple File Exchange, however, make sure
you transfer in binary mode...*Do Not Transfer in ASCII Mode!*  you will
get a distorted (if somewhat interesting) picture which will not
completely translate. (you can recover the leftovers with SHRConvert,
but they aren't pretty).
