Greetings, Atarians...

     I am looking for a couple of things having to do with conversion of
GIF format pictures to Spectrum pics, and about GIF in general...

     Does anyone out there have a decent GIF -> Spectrum converter?  By
decent, I mean a converter that does at least as well as Spectrum converts
IFF to Spectrum.

     How about C source code (or just about anything, for that matter) to
load GIF pictures into a blittable array in memory?
     Thirdly, does anyone have a GIF viewer that is faster, better, and/or
better-featured than GIFSHOW, by Zaphodyne?

     Fourth, if none of these exist, would anyone else out there be
interested in one?  (i.e. is there any interest in my writing one?)


Thanks in advance...
