   GIFtoTMP does have a problem with GIF files that are stored interlaced.

   If you look at this on an amiga screen what you
   will see then is 2,4, or more small horizontal versions of the same image,
   each smaller vertically than the one before, direct result of decoding
   sequentially when the file is storing the scanlines in interlaced GIF form.
   I sure wish someone would fix this!  Anyone know how to contact the author of
   this program?

With the copy of gif2iff that I have, there is a program called "unlace"
that does this very thing. GIFtoTMP even tells you when you need to run it.
BTW, I have the version that was posted to USENET a few months back.
