Very important: This release of Graphic Workshop can display animated GIF files. In order to do this, the Multiple Image GIF Files item in Setup must be turned ON. You will probably want the Prompt to View Animation switch turned OFF, as well. If you have previously installed an earlier version of Graphic Workshop on your hard drive, these switches may not be set up correctly. Please check this before using Graphic Workshop.
