GIF Modules For ImageFX

This archive and its contents are freely distributable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This archive contains a GIF loader and saver for ImageFX.  Because of newly
enforced patents on the GIF compression algorithm, Nova Design and many other
companies are no longer able to include GIF support in their packages.  However,
since the patent does not extend to public domain software, we are releasing
the GIF modules in this freely distributable form.

The GIF saver in this archive includes a couple of enhancements from the
original version.  It now has the ability to save interlaced GIFs, and it
supports making a transparency color.

The saver's Arexx arguments are:

   FORMAT
      Lace/S,NoLace/S,Transparent/K/N,NoTransparent/S

   INPUTS
      Lace
         Specifies that the file should be interlaced.

      NoLace
         Specifies that the file should be non-interlaced.

      Transparent
         Specifies a color register that should be designated as transparent.
         Note that this creates a GIF89a version file, which may not be
         compatible with all software.

      NoTransparent
         Specifies that no transparency register is used.

   EXAMPLE
      SaveRenderedAs GIF DH0:MyPicture.gif
