There are 3 gifviewers for compact macs that I am aware of;

Gifconverter 2.2d a shareware application with some features locked
Gifwatcher DA 1.0 is view only and is also shareware.



Turboview DA 1.05 is lockedware - images are obscured until you get the key.

None of these can display a really good image on a macplus because the plus
does not have grayscale or color. The images are converted from grayscale
or color by dithering the pixels.
