BlendGif ver 1.15: Create a multi-frame animated GIF
Synopsis:
BlendGIF is a free, OS/2 REXX application that will create a multi-frame
animated GIF file from several GIF image files. In addition to
merely appending images together, BlendGif can create intermediate
images -- thereby supporting a variety of fade, pan, dissolve,
rotation, and other effects.
BlendGIF can be run ...
a) from an OS/2 command prompt,
b) as a cgi-bin script (under an OS/2 web server that
understands CGI-BIN), or
c) as an addon for the SRE-http web server
To support the latter two options, BLENDGIF.HTM can be used as a
javascript-enabled, HTML <FORM> based front-end.
For detailed installation instructions, see the manual (BLENDGIF.DOC).
And a Plea: BlendGIF is a new product (development started in Feb 1999).
Though it's gotten a fair amount of use, if you discover
any bugs or annoying obscurities, PLEASE contact me.
Requirements:
To use BLENDGIF, you must have the RXGDUTIL.DLL and REXXLIB.DLL
libaries. If you do not have them, you can contact Daniel Hellerstein
(at the above address), or you can grab them from
http://www.srehttp.org/pubfiles/blenddll.zip
(please see the READ.ME that comes with BLENDDLL.ZIP)
You also must have REXXUTIL.DLL and RXSOCK.DLL; but that's almost
certainly already on your computer (they are shipped with OS/2).
