Where did you find your gif viewer? (And what is it called?)  I found some
stuff at the following site, but the gif viewer is not very flexible.
There is also a fromgif and togif utility for Iris RGB format.
They do have a fair number of GIF files though.  Here are their vital stats:

Iris1.UCIS.Dal.Ca                                                            Ir

Good Luck!
