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

GIF2LBM is a *very* simple bitmap converter.

It converts plain 256 colour GIFs to the LBM
format used with Themie Gouthas' XLIB.
It also saves the palette separately in a
*.PAL file.
The GIFs must have dimensions no greater than
255 x 255. This is because of the limitations
of the LBM format. Also, if you want to then
convert the LBMs to PBMs, the width must be
divisible by four. 

As I said, this is a *very* simple converter.
It doesn't do much in the way of checking, 
and the wildcards are a bit funny. (if you
type GIF2LBM *, then it will do nothing, so
you should type GIF2LBM *.GIF).

The idea with GIF2LBM is to use it to convert
small GIFs into LBMs and PAL files. Then, to
make these files useable in XLIB, just use the
LBM2PBM executable. I've added this executable
to the ZIP archive with its source code.

I've also included my own source code, and an
example TurboC 3.0 project file. To compile
the program, you will need XLIB06.ZIP, or some
other version of XLIB.

Anyway, you'll figure it out if you want to.
But why bother?
