I can't remember all that I did for sure.  The key things were to delete 
all of the source code lines which refer to [NXWait push|pop] in DecodeGIF.m
and replace the method in Animator which refers to the no longer used
_cvtToSel.

From:
===========================
- setAction:(SEL) aSelector
{
    action = 
    aSelector && !ISSELECTOR(aSelector) ? (*_cvtToSel) (aSelector) : aSelector;
    return self;
}

To:
===========================
- setAction:(SEL)aSelector
{
    action = aSelector;
    return self;
}

I think that was all.  I am not certain what was lost in changing the method
to the simpler form (which is also used in NextDeveloper/Examples/Toolinspector)
but it seems to work OK.  I have had no dumps, console messages etc.
