- To clarify the situation, or put more mud in the water:
-
- I have compiled this, and gotten it running many moons ago on Xenix using
- CGI and an EGA monitor. It works mostly fine, and Ron deserves much credit,
- but:
- 1. It gets confused at about half of all the images I have presented
- it with;
-
- 2. It is slower than a PC .exe running under VP/ix. The latter also
- usually does some conversion, etc.
-
- You are welcome to the gif executable, although making it from the sources
- is trivial. The real hassle is setting up CGI.
