Thanks to those who sent me the list of FTP sites that was apparently
recently posted on here.

Now for a new question: what would make a GIF file appear slanted? For example,
suppose the picture is supposed to be a box:

   +---------+
   |         |
   |         |
   |         |
   +---------+

but it comes out thus:

      +----------+
                //
              //
            //
      -----++----

Actually the effect is more pronounced than that, but that's the idea.
None of the image is lost, but it's wrapped around!

Any ideas, or fixes?

Andy
