What you should do is create your graphics as normal and then use one of the 
conversion utilities that are easily obtainable at AB20, such as HamSharp, 
IFF2GIF, AmGif, etc. 

BTW, I do have to admit I like the way that .gif's are compressed.  The file 
sizes are much smaller than comparable iff's.
