You're right.  It doesn't.

Here's how: Read in an IFF file created by any other paint program.  (DPaint
II will work well) Now modify it and re-save.  Now try reading it in with
that paint program, or even better, try reading it with things like ushow.
I use iff2gif and then try using giffy2 to do it.  No luck.

Here's how I solved the problem (without any coding).  Kick up DPaint III,
read in the file, and then use screensave to dump to a normal IFF file, and
then convert with IFF2GIF ....
