What is useful?  You ask what use a GIF file is.  Obviously if no one thought
that they were of any use, they wouldnt exist on an archive.  GIF files are
a machine independant format to store graphic pictures.  There are several
programs available to display GIF.  But as for use - well, one could use
them in documents if your word processor permits mixing of words and graphics.
They could be used as backgrounds for games.  And they can be used as desktops
on some machines.
