currently, i have two gif viewers, vgif (v3.6) and fastgif (v2.0)
while both have their redeeming features (vgif seems to show the
pictures better than fastgif, while fastgif can list all 600+ images
we have) i would like to find one that would do the best of both.
some of the features we need are:

1) lotsa files (600+ so far)

2) reasonable mapping of 256 colors to the VGA color standard

3) paging thru images that are bigger than the screen.

4) saving the images to some printable format (HP laserjet?
postscript?)

any help in this endevor would be appreciated. we are not above buying
software, but i cannot find *anything* that even mentions GIF format
in the stores.
