You could try using shapeshifter and GifBuilder. A very easy to use util
for macs. Drag and drop gifs onto it and it also lets you specify
transparency colour, interframe delay, load in a common pallete etc.

Any of the fancy web stuff I do over on the mac side nowadays. Photoshop
really is THE graphics proggy to use ;) The PhotoGif plugin is so cool
and lets you use an alpha channel mask as the tranparent area rather
than just a sinlge colour, avoids those nasty transparent bits in the
middle of pics. Can't do gif anims yet though. ;(

Also if there are any programmers reading this check out this message
and port it over to the amiga !!!

I've released my multi-image gif (animation) software as both source code and
as (untested) binaries for many Unix platforms. The URL is:

        http://www.msg.net/utility/gifwhirl/

This is a tool to take several GIF (Compuserve's Graphics Interchage Format)
files, and concatenate them into a multiple image animation. The program
can add GIF control sequence to define transparency, inter-frame delays,
and add the Netscape 'loop' extension to force the sequence to repeat.

I've only tried the program on Unix systems, but I see no reason for it
not to work on DOS or other command-line systems. I'd particularly appreciate
receiving binaries for MS-DOS, NT, OS/2, or Amiga systems.

If you create any interesting (yet small) animations with this software, or
have suggestions (or better yet, source code :-) for future versions, feel
free to contact me.
