- This program will display GIF files on VGA or Super-VGA video adapters.
- VESA BIOS extensions are used (if present) to enable the SVGA modes.
- If VESA BIOS is not installed, only VGA modes are used. The program will
- select the best mode available that provides enough colors to properly
- display the image. If the image is larger or taller than the display
- screen, the image is scaled to fit the screen.
