	I have been trying to use this program with about 50% success.
	I seems to work fine on most "commercial" gifs, but gifs
	that I have converted (using Hijaak) from an Apple scanner
	end up looking like the horizontal sync is misajusted
	when set for a Windows background.  Also, color gifs
	captured with my Computer Eyes capture board end up
	looking like a freaked out inverted image.   All these
	gifs look fine using the standard gif viewers and things
	like Piclab.
