PROGRAMS USING THE FILES

INSTALLATION
- Automatic, requires Installer to be available on system
NEW FEATURES
This update enhances and/or corrects two conditions of previous releases:
1) "AnimGIF - Load" used to require a double-buffering screen mode to
create the animation. This is the standard for proper Amiga animation,
but Personal Paint has always been strong in supporting RTG animation
without double-buffering. This has now been extended to this script.
2) On some web browsers, GIF animations using transparency effects would
be displayed differently (e.g. leaving "trails") than with Personal
Paint. This was caused by the lack of a clear specification on the
various frame disposal methods which can be employed for GIF
animations if transparency is used. The update contained in this
archive was designed to offer a better compromise between optimization
and compatibility with different de facto standards.
This archive does not contain, create or modify any GIF code. Only some
animation features are updated. The installation procedure requires the
personal_gif_io.library, version 5.1, to be already installed in the
system. This library (or a newer one) is included with Personal Paint 7.
These are some examples of file sizes of famous GIF animations taken from
the Internet and saved again with Personal Paint 7 and this update:
