GRR displays information about GIF files in the current or specified
directory.
Usage: GRR [file_spec]
Example: GRR mariah*.gif
Example: GRR a:\amygrant.gif
Usage is pretty straightforward, just enter GRR followed by the files you
want information about.
GRR can use DOS wildcards (? and *), and can be run on GIF files in a drive
or directory other than the current one. Output is redirectable to a file
or printer. To redirect to a file, try: "GRR a:\*.gif > ds9gifs.dta".
(See your DOS manual for more information about redirection.)
GRR will report the name, size, date and time of non-GIF files, but will not
try to report image details (which would be irrelevant).
Here is a sample of the output, explanation follows:

Notes:
------
Filename/ size/ date/ time should be self-explanatory.
GIF version can be either GIF87a or GIF89a (so far, those are the only two
GIF formats defined by CompuServe.
Image data is WIDTH x HEIGHT x COLORS of image.
The last column will usually be "GCM/--". The two fields are map/ giflite:
Map can be either GCM or LCM [global color map or local color maps].
GL means that a GIFLITE (tm) header was found, and "--" means
one was not found.
Note: Since the GIFLITE header can be "erased" by some programs (and can be
omitted by the registered version of GIFLITE - so I hear), a GIF file may be
compressed by GIFLITE, but GRR will not necessarily be able to detect it.
The GIFLITE header might not be detected if the GIF version is GIF89a and
embedded comments are present.
