Thanks go out to many people:
* To Patrick J. Naughton (naughton@wind.sun.com) for writing 'gif2ras.c', a
program that converts GIF files to Sun Rasterfiles. This program was the
basis of the original xgif, and as such, could be said to have 'started it all'
This same code remains mostly unchanged in 'xvgif.c'.
* To Michael Maudlin (mlm@cs.cmu.edu) for writing a short, READABLE version
of the 'gif writing' code, which I've modified to a small degree. This code
became 'xvgifwr.c'.
* To Jef Poskanzer (jef@well.sf.ca.us) for coming up with cool-whizo
'general' formats (pbm, pgm, ppm) and for having a large collection of X11
bitmap files (providing the impetus for reading/writing THAT format).
* To Steve Swales (steve@bat.lle.rochester.edu) for telling me about the
GIF aspect ratio extension.
And, most importantly, to John Dotts Hagan (hagan@dccs.upenn.edu) whose
continued harrassment has proved invaluable. Suffice it to say that XV
probably wouldn't have been written were it not for all the abuse he gave me
about the shortcomings of 'xgif'.
