Hi there!

I`m looking for source code or microsoft compatible libraries of fast
routines that can convert raw image data to gif format and vice versa.
To be more specific, it`s the compression/decompression functions that
I need. I`m doing a project on picture processing and we sometimes need
to save over a hundred pictures a day on disk. I`d like to compress them
as they are received to save disk space. The conversion speed should be within
5-10 seconds / picture. I guess at least part of the code should be written
in assembly. Any body has any ideas where I can find such a package?
Any pointers, PD or commersial, would be deeply appreciated.

For your infomation, I`m using a 6MHz AT with a 26ms Micropolis 1375 HD
(140MB). The pictures are 512x512x8 bits large and are stored in the 
frame buffer of a PCVISION frame grabber.

Thanks in advance.
