- What platform? The MSDOS exe on most of the ftp sits have gif (and
- many other drivers built in). If you compile the code yourself, you
- need to read the DRIVERS.DOC file for information you how to include
- drivers (the X driver is the only included by default on UNIX
- systems.) It only takes a few minutes to make the modifications, then
- you need to recompile. On our system, I have all of these drivers
- compiled and loaded: (output from gs -h)

- x11 paintjet bit gifmono gif8 pcxmono pcx16 pcx256 pbm pbmraw pgm
- pgmraw ppm ppmraw
