i just posted src to a mono gif viewer to comp.sources.atari.st. it should
port fairly easily since all it does is draw lines and points. it should
be easy to make it color, too. the hard part is decoding the gif anyway
(it is compressed with a slight variant of unix compress). the mono
version does floyd-steinberg dithering, with which i am sort of obsessed
these days :-). my prog was named mgif.

you can also take a look at the PBM plus package available from the
comp.sources.unix archives. it does many conversions, including GIF to
whatever, no doubt something u can use on yer 'miga...
