Aha! Are you trying to display it on a hercules (or clone) card? I've got the
"official" GIF routines in my copy of CI$ PC3 software. When you try to display
*any* GIF file on a Hercules card it bombs after about 10 scan lines.

CI$'s comment.... "there'll be an upgrade" (gee thanks...)

Luckily I also have a CGA in the system, So I can display the top 200 lines
of EGA pictures....   :-(
