I hate to tell you this, but HiJaak 2.01 does convert a similar GIF picture
in just about 10 seconds. This is on a 386/33Mhz though. I would need to
compare quality, but Hijaak does better output than most other GIF converters
I have tried (yup, haven't try yours yet, its been a while since I did
a GIF to IFF convertion on an Amiga).
