Having just upgraded from a trusty old 'Plus to an LC I'm having a few problems
with colo[u]r PICTs and CLUTS. I've got a GIF file (no, not *that* type of GIF)
that I want to use as a startup picture, or more generally as a PICT that I
can paste into text, etc.

When I use Giffer, or other GIF programs, to save it in PICT format I seem to 
lose the file's CLUT, because when I load it into another application (or
use it as a startup screen if I save it as a resource) all the colo[u]rs are
weird.

Is this a problem with Giffer, the file, me, the Universe, what?

Help appreciated. Thanks.
