ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program adds a text file on to the end of a GIF picture. It does
not have to be a text file, an ANSI file will do. Add what you want
displayed to the end of the gif file.
USAGE| GIFCOM <GIF picture/anim file> <text file>
It makes the GIF picture into a version 89 GIF. If the orginal GIF is a
version 87 it will become a version 89. This is because the version 87
format does not handle comments. The version 89 does.
To see the comment, you MUST have a picture viewer that can view version
89 GIFs. VPIC and CSHOW both support GIF version 89 pictures.
If a GIF has been GIFLITEd, there will not cause any problems.
NOTE: If you have tabs in the text file, you will need to run the text
file through a program which will convert the tabs to spaces.
It could be good for sysops who want to show that this picture has
passed through their BBS.
