	I'm not trying to knock SuperConvert, but if you don't want to wait
EONS for your GIF files to be shown, get Jonah Stitch's GIF3200 or 
wait {hopefully not long --TODD?} for LordHighGiffer.

	Both are HELLA fast, and I would say they come close to being as
fast as IBM or Mac GIF viewers. They have varying qualities to select from
to convert with, and obviously the higher quality the less time, but
even on the BEST quality on both, they are possibly ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE 
faster than SuperConvert.

(note I've never seen SuperConvert, but Jason Harper told me that he had no
intentions of speeding GIF conversion up from SHRConvert, the shareware
predecessor)
