GIMP issues are already answered but let me draw your attention to the UNISYS issue. http://www.ora.com/infocenters/gff/gff-faq/ I never used it but there are utilities called ungif in debian. That may be what you want :) $ apt-cache search ungif With this, you can use GIF like Debian web site :-) (We all know GNU site does not like usiong these non-LZW GIF too.) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA, GPG-key: A8061F32 .''`.
