One possible consideration for getting GIF files to work on a Mac is that
many GIF file viewers only accept a few filetypes and ignore all others.
If this is your problem, use ResEdit to edit the files to a filetype that
yours will accept.  Another possibility is that the file is corrupted in
the process of transferring.  You should also try transferring a file
back to the Unix environment to see if it still works there.  Exactly what
isn't working?  Please elaborate.
