-
- and GfxCon from Dirk Farin

-
- WhirlGif however is not included as Hannu Nevalainen kindly Explained .
- WhirlGif Contains code to compress data using the LZW/LZH(?) technique .
- This technique(?) has been claimed (C) by someone (was it Unisys?)
- which means it isn't "free". As it isn't free the aminet maintainer
- WON'T accept any (re)uploads of it.
-
- So to get WhirlGif DownLoad it from any full aminet site , it's found in
- gfx/conv/
-
- it's name keeps changing but it'll be "gfx/conv/WhirlGif<something>.lha"
