Well, it's time to trim the GIF collection way back.  I have > 1500 GIFs
that are taking > 300M.  I'd like to cut that down to 50M or so.  I want
to weed out the duplicates, even if they have different names, plus get
rid of the low quality (< 200 colors) images and the corrupted GIFs.

I don't want to have to look at each GIF.  I don't think I'll live long
enough. :-)

Has anyone done something like this?  Does anyone have any tools that can
make doing this less painful and tedious, and perhaps automate it a bit?

Any suggestions, pointers, or code appreciated.  Please, don't ask me to
send GIFs.  I already offered, and several people took me up on it.  I've
done my part to share the wealth.

Thanks,

Tim
