G'day,

I've written a GIF viewer for apollo's (can be configured for most node
hardware, system 9 etc). It can (optionally) store a decoded GIF as
a bitmap, and taks advantage of large HDM's on some nodes. It loads
one gif while displaying another for extra speed, and can also encode
bitmaps as .gif files (for portability & saving disk space). It runs
on 1,4 or 8-plane nodes by quantizing colours, and can expand a picture
using hardware-zooms or a software expander on nodes without colour
zoom.

If you'd like a copy, email me.

Peter Hawkins
