GIFCruncher Desktop for Windows Demo
Early Access Release ea1 - 12/15/98

Thank you for trying the GIFCruncher Desktop for Windows demo. GIFCruncher is a GIF optimizer that can reduce your GIF load times by up to 90%.  The demo has exactly the same feature set for single-GIF crunching as the full product, but times out after 14 days. Batch features are disabled; if you click on the Crunch Batch... button, you will be taken to the How to Purchase page in your browser. You can try the batch capabilities of GIFCruncher free for two weeks by signing up for a Free Trial on the GIFCruncher web site. This will allow you to do batch crunches online, but does not involve downloading any additional software. The online batch features are very similar to those available in the full Desktop version.

This is an early access release. Incremental updates will be available from the website at http://www.gifcruncher.com. For free demos of the award-winning HVS ColorGIF and JPEG plug-ins from Digital Frontiers, please visit http://www.digfrontiers.com.

Requirements: GIFCruncher requires that you have build 2424 or later of the Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java on your machine. You can download the MSVM from microsoft.com or from http://www.gifcruncher.com/MSJavx86.exe. You must also have a frames-compatible browser to view output.

To start GIFCruncher, click on the file that says "GIFCruncher" with the bunny icon. 

Please report problems to info@gifcruncher.com. The GIFCruncher Desktop FAQ at http://www.gifcruncher.com/desktop/faq.html is a good place to start if you have questions regarding the installation or operation of GIFCruncher. 

You can access the online User's Guide from the Web menu. Future updates will include a copy of the manual in the download.

If you have questions, email is the best way to contact us. You can possibly reach a human being at Digital Frontiers, 847-328-0880 during business hours (CST). To purchase, you can go to the GIFCruncher site or directly to the secure purchase page at https://www.digfrontiers.com/cgi-bin/gc/merchant/gcreg.cgi. The price is $49.95, but we sometimes run specials on the site.

Enjoy!
