Yes.  Stop by your local BBS or information service, and pick one up!

This was done for the Amiga a while back, and I've seen it on GEnie, CI$,
and the BBS's I frequent.  Never downloaded it, as I never ran across any
GIF'd images, so I dunno if it is a converter, or a viewer.

Amazingly, a grep of my (complete) Fish Disk listing failed turn up any
sign of it, so I guess there *is* at least *one* useful tool that Fred
somehow missed ... :-)

P.S.  The filename was something like "GIF.ARC", or similar.
