- rent and future micro PCs. GIF can define graphics files of over
- 16,000 x 16,000 dots whereas the average micro now in use uses a
- screen resolution of 320 x 200 dots.

- capabilities. GIF allows for 256 colors per image, chosen from a
- palette of 16 million possible colors.

- variety of micro computer systems. The majority of these programs
- were developed for Compuserve and are in the Public Domain.
