- FANX! for your suggestion... However, I already have a copy
- of the source to FRACTINT V15.1... and I'm finding the code
- rather *difficult* to follow -- I'm trying to find a GIF file
- definition something like:-
-
- Bytes Name Description
- ----- -------- ---------------------------
- 0-5 Version Version of GIF, e.g. GIF89a
- 6-7 Encode Encoding scheme
- 1=run length encoding
- 2=Huffman...
-
- Etc...
-
- so that I can "start from scratch". I've written my
- programs in C, with various "controls" so I can build image
- files on VAX/VMS and MS-DOS but I'd ultimately like to use
- GIF for the data files so I can use FRACTINT to display the
- finished images.
