A.08.07 In this environment, neither lint -u nor gcc -Wall
produce any messages. If you encounter any errors or need
to make any changes to port it to another platform, please
contact me.
Known bugs:
-B flag won't work if there's an Extension between the
Global Color Table and the Image Descriptor (or Graphic
Control Extension). If -V has been specified, a Warning
Message will be displayed. Will be fixed in 2.0
Always outputs GIF89a. Shouldn't do this if version is
newer.
-D option may output changed data instead of original
data, use with caution, best only with then -L option.
