That is NOT true. My version (8.01B) lets you configure your driver.
I am using it on my Trident VGA board (8800 chipset) even in the extended
modes. And it is fast compared to other GIF viewers which are using the
BIOS to display pictures in extended modes.
The configuration program is called "cshowi". It should come with the
archive.

[stuff deleted].

There is even a screen show program: cshows. Try it, too.
Have fun using it and watching the GIF pictures.
