I had the same problem with NICE.GIF.  A few lines at the top were displayed
on my EGA screen and then GIFEGA10 went into netherworld.  GIFSLOW
did not even get that far.

NICE.GIF unarc'd without any problems - I suspect either the original file
is corrupt or the GIF reader programs have a bug.  Don't have Turbo-Pascal
or I would have tried to find out what's wrong...

Does anyone else have any other GIF pictures we could try ?
