- Steve Wells asked about the difference between the GIF87a and
- GIF89a standards...
-
- I don't have a full list of the enhancements right here, but some
- of them include:
-
- The ability to include comments with the picture, which allows
- giving credits and a description, among other information...
-
- The ability to include animation (although I've only seen this
- done a very few times).
-
- The ability to include more than one image in a single file...
-
- I know there are more, but those are few of the changes.
