Following recent announcements by other companies, Cloanto hereby announces
that it will discontinue support of the GIF graphics format.

Cloanto hereby places the "personal_gif_io.library" in the public domain.
This library allows applications such as Personal Paint and the Personal
Fonts Maker to read and write files in the GIF format.

New versions of applications developed by Cloanto may remain compatible
with the interface used by libraries such as the "personal_gif_io.library".

Cloanto will continue to support other existing graphics formats, as well as
new, emerging standards.
