	Hi folks,
	
	Many of you will be happy to learn that a gif file viewer
is in fact available for anonymous ftp!  Check out hubcap.clemson.edu
/pub/gif/viewers/amiga_giffy.uu is what you want.

	But there's a trick as the file is miss labled.  Transfer the
file as binary and rename it to Giffy2.arc.  Afterwards you can extract
Giffy2.  This program will let you view gifs with up to 32 colors  ie
no ham support.  There is another program called hamgif which will
display pictures in ham, however there's lots of color frindging
at dark/light transition spots :(  A ham limitation.
I'll send hamgif to the binaries group soon.
