I have a student working with me on GIF files and related things.  I should
therefore very much appreciate it if I could have a little help in chasing
up some references.

	1.	Is Bob Montgomery anywhere on the net?
	2.	Is Steve Blackstock ditto?
	3.	I have heard of GIFENCOD.GIF and GIFDECOD.GIF.  Has anyone got a
		copy I could have (assuming it's PD, of course!).
	4.	Has anyone any GIF files that we could study?  I already have NICE,
		CHERYL and BLASTOFF.  They are all 640x350x16.  It would be nice to
		have some other resolutions too.
	5.	The (long) article from compuserve detailing the GIF standard
		refers to IEEE "Computer" for June 1984 (Vol. 17 No. 6).  We are finding
		it hard to track this down.  Does anyone (in Britain) have a copy they
		are prepared to Xerox?  There is just the one article we need on the LZW
		compression technique (by Terry A Welch).

The net is always so helpful, that I hope it can come up trumps again.
