a few days ago, i posted:

    if somebody who has already obtained a copy of the standard 
    from compuserve could make it available via anonymous FTP 
    somewhere, they'd be doing the GIF hacking community a service.

since then, a kind soul has mailed me a copy of the GIF89a standard.
as i mentioned before, i'm be willing to entertain a _limited_ number
of "me-too" e-mail requests.

in the interest of making the information more widely available, i'll
give preference to those people who are willing to make the standard
available by anonymous FTP (and are willing to have themselves
mentioned as such in a followup to this message in a week or two).
