The difference between these four are:
Quickgiff shows a little sign: 
              "Sorry, this program needs color quickdraw"
               or something like that.
Giffer just beeps and exits (I might have switched those two
	      around, the difference does not matter much to me)
GifConverter writes "reading GIF (or PICT or whatever) file",
              then "Analyzing image" and then bombs with
              error 29
Visionlab actually works

Oh yes, visionlab is free, Gifconverter costs $45
