GIF is GIF; however, a lot of people transfer the GIF file from the Mac using
what is referred to as MacBinary format.  This results in a concatenation of
three parts -- a header (finder information), the data fork, and the resource
fork.  If the file is transferred in this manner to a non-Mac system or one
that is not using MacBinary, then the header needs to be stripped.
